Speaker Johnson To Columbia Protestors: 'Go Back To Class And Stop The Nonsense'

Speaker Johnson To Columbia Protestors: 'Go Back To Class And Stop The Nonsense'

HuffPost
Thursday, April 25, 2024 12:38 AM GMT

The House’s top Republican visited the university in New York City, where activists have taken over part of campus to protest Israel’s brutal invasion of Gaza.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), backed by a small group of fellow Republican House members, had a simple message Wednesday for Columbia University students who have set up a protest in the college’s main square.

“Go back to class and stop the nonsense,” Johnson said in a press conference on the steps of the university library, as he and his fellow lawmakers were forcefully booed by some students.

“If we want to have a debate on campus about the merits of these things, let’s do that. But you can’t intimidate your fellow students and make them stay home from class,” he said.

Columbia has been one of several elite colleges in recent weeks to see its campus roiled by activists angry at Israel’s invasion of Gaza, which it launched after a bloody Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7.

At Columbia, protestors created the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” to demand the school divest from financial interests in Israel amid the military campaign in Gaza, which has so far killed some 34,000 Palestinians and led to famine. The continuing protests have led the university’s president, Nemat Shafik, to announce students could attend virtual classes until the end of the semester.
