Bernie Sanders wouldn't say whether he would hold hearings on campus antisemitism in his capacity as HELP committee chairman, saying he is 'concerned about bigotry of all kinds.'
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wouldn't commit Tuesday to holding hearings on college antisemitism as tensions escalate across the country with anti-Israel demonstrations persisting at elite universities.
ranking member Bill Cassidy, R-La., said in a statement, 'Chair Sanders and the Senate Committee need to hold a hearing and conduct oversight of this eroding situation. 'There are no grounds for a nuanced response to the sickening calls of violence against Jewish students,' Cassidy added. 'The antisemitic scenes unfolding at Columbia University and college campuses across the country is bigotry manifested in violence and threats of violence. This should be responded to by expelling all perpetrators. There should be zero tolerance.
