On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) stated that House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) visit to Columbia was to “stir up really more anger and hate and endanger the lives of young people who are at that encampment at Columbia University.”
Omar said, “This is a man who is holding onto his speakership. He knows he might be on the chopping block, and it is not surprising that he would go out to Columbia University and stir up really more anger and hate and endanger the lives of young people who are at that encampment at Columbia University.”
Omar continued, “I want people to actually understand why these kids are risking their academics and their ability to stay in good standing at their universities. They are worried what it means to grow up in a world where people can watch nearly 35,000 people be killed, to watch nearly 70% of them be children and women, to watch the destruction of 80% of infrastructure, to see a country withhold water, food, electricity, to starve people, and carry out collective punishment. Israel’s being hauled in front of international courts and being accused of genocide. These kids don’t want us to be complacent.”
