Summary
Rep. Jerry Nadler accused Trump of exploiting antisemitism to justify political crackdowns on elite universities.
Nadler said Trump “doesn’t give a damn about antisemitism” and is weaponizing Jewish concerns to impose control over academia.
The administration has suspended or threatened over $10 billion in federal funding to schools like Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton.
Nadler warned that curbing campus free speech would harm Jews and condemned Trump for gutting civil rights enforcement. He also criticized universities for capitulating and urged legal resistance to what he called unconstitutional coercion.
They certainly like to talk and represent they aren’t, but if someone speaks up against war in Gaza they are picked up by ICE. It doesn’t mean the same thing to others as it does to them.
Opposing Israel is “antisemitic” to them.
