Weak Sauce: Biden Regime Sends 2nd Gentleman To Meet Jewish Students

On one hand, Doug Emhoff is the one one out of the President, VP, and 1st Lady to have actually called Jewish students who have been targeted. On the other, it almost seems a slap in the face that they send a guy who really has zero position

Emhoff to Meet Jewish Students on Antisemitism — Including from West Point

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is set to meet Monday with six Jewish college students to discuss the ongoing wave of antisemitism on campuses around the country — including one student, bizarrely, from the U.S. Military Academy.

Politico reported Monday:

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Monday will host a half-dozen Jewish students from colleges around the country amid a wave of pro-Palestinian campus protests criticized for featuring antisemitic behavior. (snip)

Emhoff is the only of the four principals at the White House who is known to have called students who felt targeted or threatened by the demonstrations. In all, he has made two rounds of calls in recent weeks with Jewish students and Jewish community leaders, including Columbia University.

I’m pretty sure there have been no protests at West Point.

“On Yom HaShoah, we honor the lives of the 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust,” Emhoff told the publication. “At a time when antisemitism is surging, including threats of violence against Jews, we are reminded that we must never allow history to repeat itself.”

“We must continue to fight antisemitism and hate and educate others on the horrors of the past,” he added.

As of writing this post, there was no information on the actual meeting. Perhaps there will be an update sometime Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Columbia has cancelled commencement

(AP) Pro-Palestinian protesters that had been blocked by police from accessing an encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Monday broke through fencing, linked arms and encircled tents that remained there, as Columbia University canceled its university-wide commencement ceremony following weeks of pro-Palestinian protests.

Well, that’s a shame for all those who were not involved, especially since so many of them certainly missed graduating from high school in 2020 thanks to China’s coronavirus. Columbia should have just booted all the pro-Hamas folks, said they weren’t invited, and allowed the rest to have their day.
