Speaker Johnson addresses rise of antisemitism on college campuses at Columbia: Watch live
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will deliver public remarks during a visit to Columbia University Wednesday afternoon.
Along with every Republican member of the New York congressional delegation, Johnson has also called for the resignation of Columbia University president Minouche Shafik for what they regard as a failed response to antisemitism on campus.
Protests against Israel's highly controversial military action in Gaza have sprouted on U.S. college campuses. The demonstrations have sparked condemnation for, in some cases, allegedly fostering outright antisemitism and the threat of hate-based violence.
Johnson is scheduled to speak at 3:45 p.m. EDT.
