Apparently, Ms. Gay's superiors were not very impressed with her pathetic performance in yesterday's Congressional hearing. So, earlier today, Ms. Gay got the appropriate words shoved down her hypocritical, racist throat so that she could then regurgitate them on Twitter/X. Behold ...
Harvard President's Office Puts Out Letter to 'Clarify' Her Position, and People Are NOT Buying It
http://twitchy.com/coucy/2023/12/06/harvard-letter-n2390557
Earlier today we told you about the disastrous congressional hearing the presidents of several major private universities had before congress yesterday, and how much of the blowback from that hearing has been centered on Harvard University President Claudine Gay (although there's lots of blowback to go around here).
Well, it seems that Harvard has gotten wind that maybe President Gay's statements on the issue weren't the best way to play this particular hand because her office has now issued a clarification for those who might be confused ... because clearly we're the ones who are confused, right? It can't be that Claudine Gay made a complete fool of herself!
Harvard University (@Harvard) ~ Statement from President Gay: There are some who have confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students. Let me be clear: Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account.
No, Ms. Gay ... YOU are the only one who is confused. That is why you are waffling, right now.
Ah, yes, it looks so simple when it's all written out like that. We wonder why Claudine Gay couldn't have just said this at the time, and apparently we're not the only ones wondering that.
StopAntisemitism (@StopAntisemites) ~ Then why didn’t you say this during your Congressional hearing yesterday?! STEP DOWN. You are a failure.
U.S. Ministry of Truth (@USMiniTru) ~ Imagine being the president of an Ivy League school and not being able to say this in front of Congress.
They don't want to offend the mouth-breathers who love the baby-killers, rapists, and all-round murderers and torturers of Hamas.
Gregg Re (@gregg_re) ~ Not a good sign when the diversity hire couldn’t say this out loud yesterday.
This statement stinks of having been forced on the Office of the President by a very angry board of regents ... who are looking at the responses of wealthy (former) donors, like Bill Ackman, and beginning to wonder exactly how long they can operate just off of their endowments.
Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) ~ The world will be able to judge the relative quality of the governance at @Harvard, @Penn, and @MIT by the comparative speed by which their boards fire their respective presidents.
Now Harvard obviously hasn't fired President Gay, but this can't have made her feel very comfortable in her position, we wouldn't think.
Everyone was piling on Harvard for their statement, and it's always nice to see people working together to ratio a terrible tin-eared response like this.
Meara (@MillennialOther) ~ I mean, we all heard what she said. Don’t even bother with the cleanup effort.
Jay Collinwood (@collinwood_j) ~ It took national humiliation to figure that out? What is wrong with you???
She revealed who she really is in that Congressional hearing - not by today's official statement that was forced upon her by her bosses.
The Doctor (@TennantRob) ~ This isn’t anything like what President Gay said yesterday, or any other day since 10/7. So don’t be surprised when we don’t clap or believe you.
Follow the money ... if they're circling the wagons here you know a lot of money is under threat ... and deservedly so.
Hmmm ... maybe Hahvaad will have to hire Joe Biden to go scrounge up some ChiCom money for them, eh?
