CNN’s Burnett: I Don’t Get Why Johnson Is ‘Choosing to Get Involved in’ Columbia’s Affairs
Breitbart ^ | 04/24/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 04/24/2024 7:11:32 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) that was aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” host Erin Burnett said she was trying to understand why Johnson is “choosing to get involved in” the issues at Columbia University, a school that receives indirect money from the federal government.

Burnett introduced the interview by saying, “There are pro-Palestinian protests across the United States spreading, violent clashes today between police and students at USC and UT-Austin, where more than 20 people were arrested. This follows protests at NYU, Brown University, and Columbia University where an encampment has taken over part of the center of campus, more than 100 have been arrested, in-person classes have been canceled after eight straight days of demonstrations. I was on that campus earlier today to interview the House Speaker, Mike Johnson.”

Johnson is certainly not capable of handling the House.

Amazing that he has time to handle Columbia too.

No but seriously, why are protests at Columbia University the business of the Speaker of the House?

It’s not even in his own state.

To deflect attention from his treason with FISA and the 95 billion.

Now he is making a lot of “look at me” conservative noise. Of course, without actually doing anything.

because he is trying to burnish his “conservative” credentials after surrendering to a retard in the white house.

federal money goes there and is subject to rules against discrimination etc, to start. also to think that the rise in antisemitism isn’t everyone’s concern seems offbase to me. how is that America?

I think I used to be involved with them on occasion.

CDs provided high quality audio IMHO.

Because boatloads of Federal dollars (ie our money) goes to grants for these overpriced luxury resorts, otherwise known as universities.

It’s insane the wealth that has been lavished on these institutions while rural and inner urban areas decay into meth and xylazine infested hellholes.

“CNN’s Burnett: I Don’t Get Why Johnson Is ‘Choosing to Get Involved in’ Columbia’s Affairs”

Maybe because we give them a billion or so per year to STOP running drugs to the US.

Many liberal Jews voted and supported the policies (open borders, DEI, woke intersectional theory, etc) that are now biting them in the behind, so they’re merely reaping the whirlwind as far as I’m concerned.

The fact is, Federal dollars should have stopped going to universities the moment they became ideologically captured by the Left. That it takes anti-Israel protests to draw even a slight bit of negative attention is quite frankly a sign of how perverse Congress’s priorities are (as if we didn’t need more reminders).

Probably, many are the same malfactors from the blm, antifa "Summer of Love" riots.

These are the foot soldiers of the globalists (international communism) fighting a "color revolution", here, aided and allied with our own fedgov.

Funded by the UN, WEF, IMF, Open Society Foundation, Tides Foundation, etc...

Why is Columbia choosing to get involved in Israel’s affairs?
