At CPAC, Stefanik admitted what was long suspected—university presidents weren’t forced out over “anti-Semitism,” but for not cracking down hard enough on pro-Palestine protests. The crackdown on campus free speech is now official U.S. policy., academic freedom assault, Columbia University protests, Elise Stefanik university presidents, First Amendment suppression, Harvard Claudine Gay resignation, Israel lobby campus protests, Ivy League antisemitism claims, Palestine divestment protests, pro-Israel donor influence, Trump anti-Semitism task force,

In a revealing moment during her recent CPAC speech, Donald Trump’s newly appointed UN ambassador, Elise Stefanik, openly took credit for the ousting of multiple Ivy League university presidents on Israel’s behalf.

“Do you remember that famous Congressional hearing with the anti-Semitic university presidents from Harvard and Penn?” she asked the crowd. “I should say former presidents after my questions. Five down and so many to go.”
