NYC Comptroller — ‘We must not allow MAGA Republicans to weaponize antisemitism against freedom of expression.’

NYC Comptroller —

Here's the letter we sent to Cornell's president about the recent Ann Coulter visit.

Who’s waging the clampdown on academic freedom?

Tucker — and Tapper.

DeSantis — and Hochul.

MAGA anti-semites — and their dutiful yes-men: liberal university administrators.

The coddling of the antisemitic mind…

Cornell gives command of its police — to leading antisemite Ann C?

Columbia suspends Jewish group — then brags about it, to impress leading antisemite Rep. Stefanik?

Liberal university leaders show willful subservience to anti-education outsiders — wealthy anti-intellectuals AND far-right anti-semites.

It’s a bipartisan attack on students, staff, faculty — on protected non-discrimination AND intellectual merit.

Rep. Elise Stefanik has been a key booster of the USA’s deadliest antisemitism.

Why don’t NYT, CNN, MSNBC make this clear, whenever mentioning her?

Reps. Nadler & Raskin name the scourge of GOP antisemitism.

Why don’t more non-Jewish Democrats condemn USA’s worst antisemitism?
