Why won’t Josh Riley condemn Columbia University’s antisemitic president?

April 1, 2025

Newly uncovered text messages reveal that Claire Shipman – Columbia University’s new president – scoffed at the House’s oversight efforts on antisemitism, calling them “nonsense.”

Shipman also admits in the messages she was working to “unsuspend” the pro-Hamas groups terrorizing Jewish students on campus.

Meanwhile, Josh Riley has said absolutely nothing about this blatantly antisemitic behavior.

“Josh Riley can make all the flowery statements he wants about being an ally of Israel and the Jewish people, but until he condemns Claire Shipman’s vile behavior, Pat Ryan remains just as guilty of antisemitism.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
