Campus antisemitism responses may have cost Democrats the presidency
November 19, 2024
After winning both the popular vote and electoral college votes, the Left was left speechless after its media and social echo chamber that predicted a Harris landslide faced the reality that more than half of Americans want Trump back in office for the next four years.
The question became, why and how did this happen?
The answer may lie in the responses to universities allowing rampant antisemitism to run amok in key Democratic stronghold cities and states.
Accuracy in Media was on the frontlines confronting pro-Hamas students and faculty on college campuses, and saw the impact of the protests, takeovers, and radical behavior firsthand.
From allowing students to take a hall and janitor hostage at Columbia, to people occupying parts of campuses chanting “Globalize the Intifada!”, Jewish-Americans watched closely to see how officials responded to these threats. It is safe to say that at the response has been lackluster at best.
We have recently seen some accountability following AIM’s infamous mobile billboards, with University of Southern California President Carol Folt, Harvard University President Claudine Gay, and Columbia University President Minouche Shafik stepping down.
However, this was too little, too late in the eyes of Jewish voters in solid blue territories. According to Fox News exit polls, Jews in New York came out in 45% support of Trump compared to 30% in 2020. Harris saw a 14% decline in Jewish support in the state.
These numbers, while seemingly still low for Republicans, reflected the massive shift to the right that other swing states would see ultimately electing Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States.
The Biden administration did little to address the massive surge in antisemitism on campuses either, leaving religious voters, and fans of law and order wondering if Harris would continue to allow the mayhem.
Ultimately, Americans saw how the current government allowed chaos to reign at universities, and decided that they don’t want that in their own towns, schools, or states.
