    Stefanik’s  “attack” on the college presidents was performative hypocrisy. She was right wth Trump on Charlottesville.

    But, for the college Presidents this is a pretty strange hill to die on.

      I didn’t get the sense that the college presidents were taking any specific stand in their responses to a question that was effectively about their bylaws, rather than the morality of the statements considered in the question. My interpretation of the story is that a lot of the anger aimed at these presidents is because they answered the question that they were asked instead of answering an implied morality question.
