Freedom of speech doesn’t cover threats and intimidation

Columbia should revise and post its rules. Rule 1 : NO public camping on univ grounds. Call JUNK RESCUE to remove tents and debris ASAP 2. NO anti semitism allowed. SUSPEND AND THEN REMOVE THEM PERMANENTLY. GET GOING COLUMBIA

they are so disrespectful, and a generation of ignorant children are ashamed, their parents should be sad over their actions.

Well at least somebody has really balls to speak up!

Free Israel. Stand with Republican and vote for Trump

In 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101 Air Borne to Arkansas to protect Black Students. Where is Joe Biden now?

Good. Atleast someone stood up to this hateful madness and showed leadership.

Our colleges and universities are no longer a place of learning. Scary and sad.😢

Thank you so much for this Mr. Speaker and for persevering through the deranged, pathetic noise made in an attempt to silence you by those “students”. God bless you all. God bless the people of Israel.

[gusward]

Anyone who holds to the belief death to America or continues to use such language needs to be removed from OUR AMERICAN NATION! OUR LAWS ARE FOR AMERICANS! AMERICANS will not use that kind of language!!! Americans will not call for death to AMERICA!!!

[spacecats]

Revoke federal funding for colleges who discriminate against the Jewish students

[protectthetruth]

If there are any quote on quote "Jewish people" reading these comments just know that not everyone has lost there sanity, we got your back. 🇺🇲

With all respect to the Palestinians and all the victims in the Israel/Gaza war, what needs to be done is for these Palestinians to go to the middle east and protest there on the streets and demand Hamas to leave Palestine and to accept Israel as their neighbor. These protests in the USA will not solve anything at all other than creating more hate and dislike for one another.


One thing is absolutely for certain .. nothing, nothing will get out of control unless with full support from powerful entities/groups and nothing, nothing will ever change unless the necessary steps are taken.

Our founders are rolling in their graves

[jct]

Excellent it's about time people start standing up against these terror lovers

[andypuckett]

Any one who don’t like America leave and now

[Brad-gkjd]

Mike Johnson is the best. Thank you Mike!
