  • Freedom is in educating the people. Tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.
  • Enjoy your religion. Leave everyone else alone about it! Separation of church and state!!!!!!
  • The republican party are pretty much cartoon villians at this point. America, do yourself a favor, vote blue.
  • Why would the GOP want to actually solve any real issue when they can endlessly demagogue and grift off it.
  • @TheTishy44
    Thank you GOP, you’re making it so much easier to vote blue.

    Oh, the irony! Antisemitism is about protecting people from disparaging remarks or attacks based on the fact that they are Jewish. So-called "wokeism" is about protecting people from disparaging remarks or attacks based on the fact that they are part of another minority group. Being against antisemitism is literally part of the "woke" mindset. It's about respecting people and treating them with dignity. Being woke is about being against racism, religism, agism, or anything that falsely divides people.
  • When she can answer the question and the Republicans dont like the answer they cut her off. It also shows how little they know about the University administration, policy and ethics.
  • @SA-ks9vz
    Being pro saving civilian lives and being anti war is not antisemitism.
  • It's been at least a decade since I've heard a Republican ask a question in good faith because they really want to learn the answer
  • @lifecloud2
    I hate these combative attacks on witnesses that stands-in for actual discussion. To me, it's just an excuse for attacking people the GOP doesn't like.
  • “Uhhhh….I dunno.” -Every conservative when asked to define woke.
  • @cnault3244
    "Do you want Columbia University to be cursed by the god of the Bible?" Me: I worry about that as much as you worry about not entering Valhalla.
  • @ehquetest
    Vote out the Taliban. “Woke” refers to people expecting equality under the law.
  • Thank you Alex for always shining the spotlight on what is the greatest threat to America today: White Christian Nationalism
  • I believe the American people have the right to know how much of our tax dollars have been spent so far on these shame hearings.
