New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said Monday that he has “lost faith” in his alma mater, Columbia University, amid reports of antisemitism during campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war and said he’s “not comfortable supporting the university” until things change.

One thing I *do* remember is the local Miami media CONSTANTLY repeating that Robert Kraft is a "FRIEND OF DONALD TRUMP". Yet today, when Kraft is refusing to further fund Columbia University because of its obvious hatred of Jews, the media IS NOT telling us Kraft and Trump are friends.
Got bias?

Republican Jewish Coalition backs Cong Good’s primary challenger in Virginia
“If you don’t stand with the Jewish community, if you don’t stand with Israel, Republican or Democrat, the RJC will work to defeat you,” RJC CEO Matt Brooks said in a statement.
The Republican Jewish Coalition is backing the primary challenger to Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), a rare move into a competitive primary for the group.
The RJC plans to announce their endorsement of John McGuire, a state senator running against Good, after the House Freedom Caucus chair recently voted against Israel aid, according to a press release first provided to POLITICO.
“If you don’t stand with the Jewish community, if you don’t stand with Israel, Republican or Democrat, the RJC will work to defeat you,” RJC CEO Matt Brooks said in a statement.
Brooks argued McGuire, meanwhile, has proven his commitment to Israel.
Good, a conservative spending hawk, opposed all the recent aid bills that came to the floor, which included funding for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
For RJC, Good has taken one too many votes against Israel aid.
“For the pro-Israel community, this is not the first time concerns have been raised about Rep. Bob Good’s undermining of U.S. support for Israel: Good also voted against passage of an Israel aid bill in February, and he opposed a defense authorization bill that included important funding for joint U.S.-Israel defense programs, including Iron Dome,” Brooks added in his statement.
In the past, RJC has only waded into a handful of other races, including against former Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) as well as GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia and Thomas Massie in Kentucky.
The mid-June primary between Good and McGuire has many more House members — and related outside groups — getting involved than usual.
Good also was among the eight House Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, leading allies of the former speaker to back McGuire. Good, meanwhile, continues to get support from certain Freedom Caucus members and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who led the charge to oust McCarthy.

Is reality optional? (Borrowed from Tom Sowell)
What’s the connection between Kraft and Trump and Kraft not being happy about Columbia University?
Who cares? It has nothing to do with the article.
All patriotic Americans ought to support Bob Good, so it’s no surprise that these pinkos do not.
I should have been more clear: the media is biased and uneven when dealing with people regarding their association with Trump. The bias is nauseating.
“the media is biased and uneven when dealing with people regarding their association with Trump”
No doubt there...
Bob Kraft was comfortable supporting Columbia when they allowed anti-white and anti-Christian protests, taught anti-white and anti-Christian classes and hired anti-white and anti-Christian professors.
Now he decides that he is uncomfortable.
Regardless of his sudden virtuousness, Kraft is still a member in good standing of the tribe of ultra-liberal, secular, atheistic self-loathers, and always has been.
Alleged “friend of Trump” or not, he is the farthest thing from a conservative or even a RINO (since he’s no “R” at all).
For further evidence, check his campaign contributions. Talk is cheap.
It took this long, and until this crisis of pure Jew hatred, for Kraft to wake up and realize he is pouring millions into a hate factory. Pretty much all of academia is poisoned by Leftism, and if the Ivy League schools had not moved their anti-Semitism into over-drive, Kraft would still be sitting there, dumb as a rock, giving money to kids who hate him.
Is he discomforted or uncomfortable?
Oh, Robert Kraft knew exactly what he was helping fund. He was quite supportive of it and would continue funding it if not for the bad optics now. He'll simply pour millions into a different hate factory that pretends to be "liberal" and "progressive" to mask their true identity.
Took a long time, but I will take it over those who refuse to see...
