Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called presidents at Columbia and Yale 'weak' and said 'Hamas' activity in Florida would not be tolerated.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a former Republican presidential candidate for the 2024 race, said Thursday that any anti-Israel protesters on Florida college campuses could face expulsion for any harassing, offensive or belligerent behavior. This comes as Ivy League schools like Columbia University, Harvard and Yale have all faced pro-Palestinian protesters overtaking their campuses with encampments and intimidation towards the Jewish population.
Someone may need to pick up a child somewhere, and you’re just going to commandeer the road because you have this ?' The governor recanted when a similar group tried to do that in Miami, and 'in 10 minutes they got dragged off the road where they belong.' 'We’re not going to tolerate that,' DeSantis said, which was followed by a room full of applause. DeSantis called demonstrators who protest on behalf of Hamas 'absurd.
Meanwhile, two hours west in Austin at the University of Texas — the 10th-most populated campus in the country with 52,384 students — there were hundreds of anti-Israel protesters who flooded a campus lawn Wednesday. Many of them clashed with local police officers and state troopers. There were 57 arrests on Wednesday, and 46 of those charges have already been dropped, according to the Texas Tribune.
