I think her actual position was probably the more popular one. It was basically: “We take context into consideration before we expel a student for non-violent protests.”
Meanwhile, the Congresswoman’s position was really: “I wish to exploit fears of antisemitism to limit the terms of debate on college campuses about Israel’s response to Oct 7. I will do that by asking questions that demand a nuanced response and then interrupt to demand a yes or no answer. The useful idiots in the media will then take that 10s clip out of context and sensationalize it so it looks like the college president had a nuanced view of hate speech instead of a nuanced view of whether students should be expelled for their political positions.”
P.S. I condemn Hamas. I know that’s obvious and everyone condemns Hamas but you’d be surprised at how irrational people get over this shit.
