Schumer Blasted for ‘Greatest Coverup of Antisemitism in American History’Joel B. Pollak 31 Oct 2024
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was blasted Thursday by Jewish critics after documents emerged indicating that he told Columbia University’s leaders to ignore criticism of antisemitism in campus protests.
As Adam Kredo of the Washington Free Beacon reported, the Republican staff report of the House Education and Workforce Committee, which spent the past year investigating the explosion of antisemitism on university campuses, included text messages sent by then-Columbia president Minouche Shafik to trustees.
Columbia was the site of some of the most radical, antisemitic, and violent protests.
In the text messages, Minouche reported that Schumer had told her that only Republicans were concerned about the issue of antisemitism on campus since the Hamas terror attack of October 7 in Israel. In addition, she wrote, a Schumer staffer had advised her “that best strategy is to keep heads down” and ignore the problem, as well as criticism of the university’s handling of it.
Shabbos Kestenbaum, a graduate student at Harvard who ended up speaking at the Republican National Convention, was furious at what he called “the greatest coverup of antisemitism in American history”:
