Sen. John Fetterman told Yeshiva University graduates Wednesday that he was “profoundly disappointed” in Harvard University’s inability to address antisemitism on campus before removing the ceremonial crimson academic hood representing his alma mater.
The Pennsylvania Democrat expressed his disapproval with the Ivy League school during his commencement address for the private Orthodox Jewish university, which bestowed him with its “Hero of Israel” award, the institution’s highest honor.
“I have been profoundly disappointed [in] Harvard’s inability to stand up for the Jewish community after Oct. 7,” Fetterman, 54, told the new grads at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens.
“Personally, I do not fundamentally believe that it is right for me to wear this today,” the senator added as he removed the Harvard hood, identifying him as an alum, from around his neck.
... Fetterman received his undergraduate degree in 1991 from Albright College in Pennsylvania and obtained a MBA from the University of Connecticut in 1993.
The senator graduated from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 1999 with a Master of Public Policy degree. He has previously said that he doesn’t “recognize” the school as the same place he once attended.
“As an alum of Harvard — look, I graduated 25 years ago, and of course it was always a little pinko,” he told Semafor in January. “But now, I don’t recognize it.”
Last month, Fetterman endorsed former Massachusetts governor and current Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney to take over the presidency at Harvard, which is currently being held on an interim basis by Alan Garver, the university’s former provost.

Is Incle Fester a DINO? I hope so!
Who knows. Somethings I like about him, some I don’t, like Romney?
That get you a zero. But he is a democrat.
And he don’t dress to impress. I like that!
“ Is Incle Fester a DINO? I hope so!”
If so he’d be the first ever DINO.
But I think it’s just this one issue that he seems to have a moral clarity on.
They say the brain can rewire itself after a traumatic injury.
I became a salamander so there is that.

It’s like he’s a completely different man.
You never know...he might be turned into a Newt.
> But I think it’s just this one issue that he seems to have a moral clarity on. <
Fetterman has been relentless in calling for corrupt Democrat Senator Menendez to resign. Fetterman even mocks Menendez, calling him “the senator from Egypt”.
Fetterman has also spoken up against Biden’s insane open border policy.
Looks to me like Fetterman is a classical liberal. He might be the only one left.
I haven’t seen his wife in quite a while. I wonder if he’s still married.
“It’s like he’s a completely different man.”
Giselle silently nods her head in agreement.
“Tell me about it!”

Interesting that Fetterman has got his mind right of late.
What does his wife/mentor think?
That’s from one of Mel Brook’s movies. I’m sure of it!
JUst not sure which one. That Gal used to be in several comic films back in 70’s/80’s. The Clever Bimbo.
“I haven’t seen his wife in quite a while. I wonder if he’s still married.”
A job for The Inquirer.
he’s far too tactful
Harvard and the other sicko administrators at the other colleges are not “unable” to stop the Nazi demonstrations
they’re providing the access, facilities, protection, and reportedly also food and supplies
after allowing or even recruiting many of these evil basturds from Krapistan
the administrators belong tried and, inmo, convicted and imprisoned ... they’ve ruined what were some very good colleges
Will commend when he’s right. Will condemn when he’s wrong not earned the trust factor.
