“One down. Two to go,” Ms. Stefanik said in a statement on Saturday. “This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most ‘prestigious’ higher education institutions in America. This forced resignation of the president of Penn is the bare minimum of what is required.”
Beware Beware Beware!
“Rot” for Stefanik – a Trump flunky – goes far beyond the presence of antisemitism on college campuses. And even if it didn’t I would have little confidence in her sincerity and capacity to address antisemitism. After all, the MAGA movement, and she is one of its leaders, is a purveyor of the worst kind of antisemitic tropes and constantly rails about the takeover of the country’s most “prestigious” college campuses by the left .
Even her choice of the word “rot” I find suspicious. It strikes me s a close cousin of “vermin.” And guess who uses that term?
