House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) took a swipe at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday.
“As Chuck Schumer tries to sell his new book on antisemitism, remember that when my Republican colleagues and I faced the vicious protest mob at Columbia last year and called on the university president to resign if she refused to restore order and protect Jewish students, Schumer was nowhere to be seen,” Johnson wrote.
“In fact, our House investigation found later he actually advised university officials to ‘keep their heads down’ and avoid meeting with Republicans,” he added.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (RN.C.), the former chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, wrote that Johnson was “exactly right” in his criticism of Schumer.
