Massachusetts Lib Senator Ed Markey Throws a Fit Over Trump Withholding Funds From Harvard (VIDEO)

Democrat Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey appeared on CNN today and had a meltdown over the fact that Trump is withholding funds from Harvard over their failure to handle the antisemitism problem that has plagued their campus for over a year now.

Markey exclaimed in his Boston accent that this is ‘Mc-CAH-thyism’ and that it doesn’t solve the problem.

Democrats like Markey never call out their radical leftist supporters for their behavior, just Trump when he tries to solve the problem.

The Daily Caller reported:

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey claimed Tuesday President Donald Trump channeled “McCarthyism” by threatening to pull over $200 million in federal funds for Harvard University.

The Trump administration is investigating the Ivy League school over its failure to address antisemitism on campus, particularly since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas that killed over 1,200 people in Israel. Markey claimed the crackdown on antisemitism would “turn out very poorly” for the United States.

“Look, anti-Semitism is wrong, anti-Semitism must be fought, anti-Semitism is something that we cannot tolerate in our nation,” Markey claimed. “But authoritarianism is not the answer to anti-Semitism. Harvard University has hundreds, thousands of scientists working on finding the cure for Alzheimer‘s, for cancer, for diabetes, for Parkinson‘s disease.”

“If the plan of this administration is to just absolutely wipe out the research that we are doing all across our country, especially at our universities that have drawn the smartest young people in our country and around the world to find the cure for these diseases, and do so in an authoritarian way, that it is going to ultimately wind up very bad for our country,” Markey continued.

Harvard has an endowment worth more than the entire economy of some small countries. They’ll probably be just fine.
