“Stop wasting your parents money”

Well stop wasting our tax payer money

[johnkuncho]

Take immediate action? The way he did on Ukrainian aid?

[shop]

We're not here for your feelings Mike Johnson!

[xenosmann]

Where was little Mikey Johnson on Jan 6 😮

[nashbridges]

He spots lawlessness on campus, but he helped facilitate it on Jan 6. The hypocrisy is predictable and absolutely stunning, all at the same time.

Stop wasting your parents money?? Stop wasting tax payer money tf

Protesting IS NOT MEANT TO BE CONVENIENT FOR OPPRESSORS! That would mean more oppression. Protesting is lawful!

[carlberg]

Johnson doesn't know the first rule of public speaking. Adjust your tone to the audience you're addressing. If he's interested in saving lives, why did he sit on the Ukraine aid package for six months? His hands are dripping with Ukrainian blood.

Go back to Congress and do your job Mikey!!!!

"Enjoy your free speech, we will do anything to take it away from you."

[danadavisyt]

You hear how he said "enjoy your free speech" as if it was a threat he could take it

[cheryllewis-scott]

But they are expressing their free speech in a lawful manner.

[modularcuriosity]

Remember that EVERY RIGHT YOU HAVE started with protest.

[jaynook]

ProLifer ignoring massive casualties abroad.
Shameless.

[Eurydice]

You think Columbia is dangerous? I dare you to spend a week in Gaza. Jerk.

[davidwolf]

Unlike Johnson, the students have a sense of morality.

[ethanweeter]

He is right that going after Jews is wrong, but why is he at Columbia when he should be promoting the border bill he should have passed already.

[terricambrini]

They aren't being violent. They are allowed to peacefully protest.

[Here]

How is the use of their 1st Amendment not lawful?
The way he said, " Enjoy your free speech, " sounded like he also wanted to say, "while you have it".

[veronicarodriguez]

"Enjoy your free speech"

That sounded like a threat.
What's he gonna do?
