Republican senators called for President Biden to deploy the national guard to suppress pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
“If Eric Adams won’t send the NYPD and Kathy Hochul won’t send the National Guard, Joe Biden has a duty to take charge and break up these mobs,” Cotton wrote Monday on X, formerly Twitter, describing the protests as “nascent pogroms” against Jews — invoking the term used to describe historic massacres against Jewish communities.
“I condemn the antisemitic protests that’s why I’ve set a program to deal with that,” Biden said on Monday. “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians,” he added. Despite the outrage from students and faculty, Shafik’s use of police force against her students has done little to appease her Republican critics, with some lawmakers demanding her resignation. On Sunday Rep. Elise Stefanik , chair of the House Republican Conference, issued a statement calling for Shafik to “immediately resign.”
