On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that “Columbia didn’t do enough” to combat antisemitism but the Trump administration cutting off $400 million in funding to the school “is outrageous. It’s just aimed at the universities. If you have some instance where someone didn’t do something about antisemitism and should have, go after that person or that group, but this is aimed at hurting universities, and I think it’s spreading and I think it’s very, very wrong.”
Host Chris Hayes asked, “Do you think this is a good faith attempt to deal with antisemitism?”
Schumer answered, “No, absolutely not. Look, let’s start, Columbia didn’t do enough, especially in the early days, to go after antisemitism. I spoke — I’ve spoken to Jewish students there who were vilified and even hit and hurt. And they didn’t do enough. Having said that, what Trump does is he takes this blunderbuss, he just takes $400 million. We don’t know why, where, when, who. Probably a lot of that 400 million goes to cancer research or Alzheimer’s research like this at Columbia Presbyterian. A lot of it may go to helping educate students, and it’ll hurt the 98% of students who never protested, even the Jewish students who might have been picked on. So, this is outrageous. It’s just aimed at the universities. If you have some instance where someone didn’t do something about antisemitism and should have, go after that person or that group, but this is aimed at hurting universities, and I think it’s spreading and I think it’s very, very wrong.”

I remember back when Chuck was Jewish, too.
Wonder when he converted to Islam.
Apparently Chuck the Schmuck doesn’t know that these days, most Americans do not take MSNBC seriously. Years ago, I heard somebody (Rush Limbaugh?) suggest that half of the network’s viewers are conservatives, who watch just to catch them saying something stupid.
Schumer’s clown show.
AOC has her eye on his seat.
Schumer knows the university system will soon collapse, the radical left always destroys itself. They have no brakes.they individually seek power, purpose and praise. He wants to blame Trump for the university crumbling but trump will see this as an opportunity for greatness.
My God, wont these people shut up and go away?
If you have some instance where someone didn’t do something about antisemitism and should have, go after that person or that group.
President Trump is going after the group. The university is that group.
Never It is a mental illness that consumes them 24/7. It isolates them from normal people so they are stuck on the hamster wheel in their mind and DJT. Is the cheese they can’t get.
Schumer getting the bums rush by his party that means he’ll get louder.
Walz is too he’s taken his Snake Oil clown show on the road.
And Chuck and the democrats did absolutely NOTHING to stop the protests, harassments, vandalism and downright hate.
Pot meet Kettle, Chuck!
RIght? This isn’t that hard.
Typical progressive swamp dweller. He wants it both ways.
Hey Chuckie, Trump isn’t ‘hurting’ ALL universities, just the bad ones.
He was jewsish before he was a paliistianian....LOL
Chuck, the Schmuck should just disappear into the night......
Because they are just liberal indoctrination centers
This tells you everything you need to know about the sad state of the current Democratic Party that ancient Chuck Shumer is the face of the party going around doing interviews to fight back against Trump. Columbia didn’t do enough but Trump still is bad? Its pathetic.
Who is Schumer kidding? Those protestors at Columbia University were the product of Columbia University.
"But Trump"
"I have no idea what you're talking about"
"So here's a bunny with a pancake on its head"
What a liar. Schumer talked one way and walked another, and is still doing that.
