UPenn’s Liz Magill voluntarily resigned after she faced widespread criticism for appearing to dodge a question at a congressional hearing about campus antisemitism.
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. — who recently went viral for engaging in a contentious exchange with university presidents at a congressional hearing on antisemitism — on Saturday praised the resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.
“One down. Two to go,” Stefanik wrote on X. “This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most ‘prestigious’ higher education institutions in America.”
she literally repeats that this is a yes or no question and they without hesitation try to blurt out policy. How did they make it to the president of schools if they categorically are unable to comprehend a 2 answer single syllable question.
absolutely buckled under the minimum of pressure. these presidents are really running high end designer universities
and are unable to say Yes, No
Did you watch it in context or just see the soundbites? I mean, yes: they should have been more prepared for the stupidity of a congressional hearing but they weren’t as bad as that one 10s clip implies.
The yes or no question was if it would violate campus policy to say “death to all jews”
Like I’m not a fan of soundbite bait questions but Jesus Christ that is the softest of soft ball questions.
That’s not one of those “try to slip zionist propaganda into a decrial of antisemitism” gotchas, that’s like the main thing anti-zionists make a point that they aren’t saying when accused of anti-semitism.

you missed the forest for a single tree.
That’s not a “yes or no answer”. Are you refusing to answer my question because you feel your answer might serve to incriminate you?
No, i am not raping and beating my wife.
see that?
No.
can you do that? y/n?

i got you riled up huh? , remember Yes or no only.
the world you live in where you get hung up on ambiguity all the time must be hard.
im sorry you have to suffer.
Wisdom comes from the understanding that there is nuance to everything. Only those who lack the maturity to understand this concept, or benefit from those who do, attempt to paint the world in black and white.
No, you do not rile me up. You do not trigger me. I was illuminating the issue with your argument so other people who stop in here may gain some insight. In other words, I am using your ignorance as an example so those with more intellectual honesty might benefit.
im glad we agree on one thing. how many people are clapping for you right now? did you win any awards?
i think the pendulum swings in two directions. what do you imagine people think of you, if you weren’t riled up. why did you reply?
strange.
