House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., spoke out on „Jesse Watters Primetime“ after addressing students on Columbia University’s campus, where he faced anti-Israel crowds.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., appeared unrattled by throngs of anti-Israel protesters who attempted to shout down his speech during a visit to Columbia University’s campus on Wednesday.
„We did our job today. We spoke out,“ Johnson told „Jesse Watters Primetime.“
Johnson also thanked „Saturday Night Live“ alumnus Jon Lovitz, who talked to host Jesse Watters immediately before his appearance, for speaking out against Jewish hate and the unrest gripping college campuses.
„I wish more people would“ let their voice be heard, the House speaker said. „We have to call this madness out for what it is: It was chaos on that campus.“
Johnson told Fox News he was convinced that many Columbia protesters in the crowd weren’t cognizant of the issues in their apparent cause. He said many of the protesters don’t understand the extent of Hamas‘ Oct. 7 massacre of Israeli civilians and that some even deny major terror attacks transpired in the United States in 2001.
