Jerry Nadler, the senior Jewish member of the House, condemned Donald Trump for exploiting antisemitism to assert control over universities. He claims Trump's actions against institutions like Columbia and Harvard are authoritarian maneuvers rather than genuine concern for American Jews. The Trump administration has suspended numerous federal funds amid investigations into alleged antisemitic harassment, affecting several Ivy League schools. Nadler cautioned American Jews to be wary of Trump’s rhetoric, stating that curtailing free speech harms the Jewish community, echoing historical lessons of oppression.
Nadler emphasized that Trump is manipulating genuine antisemitism concerns as a means to undermine academic freedom, warning that Jews would also be victims of such censorship.
In a grave warning, Nadler expressed that allowing Trump to limit free speech in academic environments would ultimately harm Jews, highlighting a historical pattern of oppression.
