Today in a Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing on antisemitism, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)blasted radical Democratsfor putting domestic terrorists over the safety of Jewish students on college campuses. Heremindedthe Committee that American law expressly empowers the Trump administration to revoke the visa of any individual that espouses or supports terrorist activity in the United States.
Hemadethis point to a witness defending the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil. “Lying on a visa application is not speech. Seeking to assault Columbia university employees and Jewish students is not speech,”argued Senator Hawley. “You are defending an individual who has espoused the destruction of this country, the destruction of the state of Israel, the destruction of Jews, and has taken action in furtherance of the same.”
“I want to say for the record, I’m glad [Mahmoud Khalil] is gone, and I hope he never comes back,”said Senator Hawley, after reminding the committee that Khalilhas been suedby victims of the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel.
Senator Hawley has longpushed for the removalof any individual that targets Jewish students on college campuses by actively supporting terrorist groups.
