Senator Ted Cruz held nothing back in his response to a protester on Columbia University’s campus who was carrying a sign that proved she was a supporter of terrorism. My father had a term he often used when speaking of college protesters. He called them educated idiots. Of course, those protesters are no longer educated, now they are just idiots. Popular X account AG (@AGHamilton29) shared the photo of a female protester dressed as a Hamas lady trying to block American and Israeli flags.

Cruz’s response got straight to the point:
“If this is a student, she should be expelled. If this is a #Columbia professor, she should be fired. No university should allow one member of the community to advocate the murder of other members of the community.”
If this is a student, she should be expelled.
If this is a #Columbia professor, she should be fired.
No university should allow one member of the community to advocate the murder of other members of the community. https://t.co/PNrscXnStd

AG added a second post, saying:
“This image also made me think of a great line I saw from @neontaster the other day: The difference between a radical anti-Zionist and a moderate anti-Zionist is that a radical anti-Zionist wants to kill you, and a moderate anti-Zionist wants a radical anti-Zionist to kill you.”

AG added in another post:
“This was the least of it. At least one Jewish student was attacked at Yale. Several Jewish students were threatened at Columbia. There are videos of the crowds threatening violence, telling Jews to go back to Europe, cheering terrorism, celebrating the American flag being taken down. This is all happening on 2 American campuses. It’s clear that these campuses are clearly not safe for Jewish students right now and not particularly productive for others as they have been taken over by antisemitic and pro-terrorist mobs. This is all coordinated and well-funded by some national activist groups, but the schools allowed for it to get to this place by allowing those involved to keep pushing the line/normalizing such behavior and they hired faculty/administrators who encourage it. Now it’s up to these schools to figure out how to address these mobs. It’s their problem because their reputations are on the line and their failures that led us here. If they refuse to address it, they should face civil rights investigations, lawsuits from students, and permanent reputations loss.”

Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) took the fight straight to the school, arguing that Columbia University — and any other school that allowed protests that literally called for violence and genocide — should be stripped of federal funding.
“This is disgusting. Any college or university that allows terrorist threats and antisemitic harassment on their campus shouldn’t get a cent of federal funding. That’s why I’m a proud original cosponsor of @SenatorTimScott’s Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act and Antisemitism Awareness Act.”
