House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke out against antisemitism in response to ongoing protests at Columbia University and other colleges across the US. Jeffries, a Democrat representing New York, expressed deep concern over the antisemitic rhetoric and intimidation witnessed on college campuses.
