Harvard President Claudine Gay is today walking back her shocking comments on antisemitism, insisting her words have been 'confused' and that the school will take action against anyone threatening Jewish students.

Gay and the presidents of UPenn and MIT have been eviscerated for telling congress yesterday that calls for the genocide of Jews do not violate their codes of conduct.

After ferocious backlash and a donor boycott, Gay released a statement today insisting she'd been misunderstood.

“Misunderstood.......balderdash.
She knew exactly what she was saying......and so do we.”

Even if you take her at her word, that means she, President of Harvard, is too stupid to communicate? Quite a confession.

[I want the USA back]

She enjoys privilege. The privilege to deny what she said and avoid being canceled/fired/arrested.

Ordinary folk don’t have that privilege. They are canceled/fired/arrested even when they haven’t said anything.

After they get their cheap shot in .... they all back peddle

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Highly paid presidents of Ivy League schools can be so misunderstood when they try to use actual English as communication......

[gundog]

I’m left to conclude that it’s all about the Benjamin$...

[Lurker]

Another “you’re just too stupid to understand what I said” non apology.

I keep thinking about this..
Could you IMAGINE her saying..

“well until a Gay/ Black person actually gets LYNCHED.. it’s all just free speach and.. Context!”

and a donor boycott

The golden rule, again, "He who has the gold makes the rules".

Muslims worldwide were rioting and burning buildings, were shooting people when a single cartoon was printed featuring Mohammed.

If Blacks hate Whites, Mexicans, Asians, and now Jews, too, who else is left that they get along with? They only get along with “Palestinians” if it seems to help their cause.

Of course, I realize this is painting with a broad brush. I know plenty of Blacks who don’t fall into this category of hate…at least I’d like to think of them that way. Perhaps behind closed doors, they say otherwise.

adding-

75% of school social scientists are women who see to it that boys are drugged for life 8 times as frequently as girls.

They have in essence converged being a boy with being defective in need of big pharma forever.

She’s a commie and an assistant Jihadi, Jim.

[Demiurge2]

She’s walking back nothing... she’s patiently explaining why we all us boobs misunderstood her.

[DesertRhino]

It’s very strange and is in the open. It’s not a conspiracy to simply notice the obvious anymore.

[VideoPaul]

All three of these “presidents” are shining examples of what happens when your moral compass shifts with the changing political winds.

Many, many universities have the same impermanent moral compass.

[Fledermaus]

I guess her gym has a stationary bike that backpedals.

[Billthedrill]

Parse her statement carefully - at first she specified that threats against Jewish students would be out of line, only later did she expand that to the Jewish community. This entire approach is simply "We're so progressive we think even calls for genocide should be protected." Classic case of someone so open-minded their brains fell out. Yes, all three should resign immediately.

I was hacked I tell ya

I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts! It wasn't my fault! I swear to God!

RPTR1: Governor, what do you think of the crisis in the Middle East?
GOV: I was saying, just this morning at the weekly prayer breakfast in this historic capital, that it behooves both the Jews and the Arabs to settle their differences in a Christian manner.

Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly say,
I assure you .. and I mean it ..
Now who says I don’t speak out as plain as day;
And, fellow Texans, I’m for progress and the flag, long may it fly.
I’m a poor boy, come to greatness, so it follows that I cannot tell a lie.

RPTR2: What the hell did he say?
RPTR1: Same as usual … not a damn thing.

Oooh, I love to dance a little sidestep,
Now they see me, now they don’t, I’ve come and gone.
Oooh, I love to sweep around the wide step,
Cut a little swath and lead the people on.

Now, my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare,
I’m for goodness, and for profit,
And for living clean and saying daily prayers;
And, now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I’ll continue to stand tall.
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon y’all.

RPTR1: Did you get any of that?
RPTR2: I hear him talking, but he don’t come in.

Oooh, I love to dance a little sidestep,
Now they see me, now they don’t, I’ve come and gone.
And, oooh, I love to sweep around the wide step,
Cut a little swath and lead the people on.
