Hollywood celebrities have been joining in on the condemnation of the presidents of the country’s top universities following their brutal testimony on Capitol Hill tackling antisemitism on college campuses last week.
Harvard President Dr. Claudine Gay, now former UPenn President Liz Magill and MIT President Sally Kornbluth were grilled by Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., on whether calls of “intifada” or the genocide of Jews violated their universities’ codes of conduct on Dec. 5.
All three of them failed to offer a yes or no response, with some arguing that “context” would be needed to make a determination.
During an interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” comedian Jon Lovitz called the testimony “shocking.”
“If that isn’t bullying, what is?” Lovitz wondered last Wednesday. “Imagine if there was a group that was in the KKK and then they said that about African-Americans. It would be horrendous.”
There have been growing calls for the university presidents to resign. Harvard has maintained its support for Gay despite revelations of her past instances of plagiarism. Meanwhile, Magill was forced to resign as president of UPenn but remains at the university as a professor.
