When House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) emerged onto the steps of Columbia University’s Low Memorial Library on Wednesday afternoon, he was greeted with a deafening sound: hundreds of booing students.
Johnson had just emerged from meetings with Jewish students at the university to discuss what he, other Republicans, and some Democrats allege is rising antisemitism on campuses nationwide.
Self-declared Governor of the Terrible Sand Kingdom of Arizonastan Kari Lake, talking to some IDAHO newspaper, flipped again. I guess she was hoping that the Terrible Sand People of Arizonastan don’t read the papers from there:
In an interview with the Idaho Dispatch on Saturday, Lake described the recent court decision upholding the 1864 law: “The Arizona Supreme Court said this is the law of Arizona.
“Speaker Mike Johnson was drowned out by booing crowds during a speech at Columbia University where he condemned the ongoing student protests against the Gaza war,” CNBC reports.
“Johnson called on Columbia University President Minouche Shafik to resign if she could not restore order to the campus and said he would urge President Biden to take executive action against the protesters.”
