AOC Lashes Out at Mayor Eric Adams After He Promises to Intervene in Columbia Protest
Apparently, the Mayor of New York City has had quite enough of the Columbia protest nonsense. He knows it is a black eye on the city and every day the Pro Hamas protestors feel more emboldened. Tonight, he was clear it was time for the students to go home.
NEW – @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been “co-opted” and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave “before the situation escalates.” pic.twitter.com/mAEkPgzuV4

This is part of the video shown by the NYPD to prove their intel that the Columbia protests have been “co-opted” by professionals – https://t.co/xf4iWCwCBz pic.twitter.com/zl6wLJYsGE

Right now, it seems he is holding true to his word as police have been seen entering the campus.

It seems like the revolutionaries aren’t as brave as they claimed. The least shocking news of the day.
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents.
Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making.
I urge the Mayor to reverse course. https://t.co/52eAEfbJjq

AOC is very upset. She loves to cheer on a protest from the comfort of her living room. Also, these are not ‘kids’. Most of them are well into their 20’s and some even approaching their 30’s.
No, it will be because of people like you and the silence of the pro hamas thugs keeping hard working workers trapped in the Hamilton building.

You’ve personally caused a lot of this

That’s the honest truth.
She wants to be out there throwing water jugs at cops so bad. She hates her job so much. https://t.co/25QOrYZbak

She loves the paycheck and perks though.
Dont buy it. She wants the worst possible outcome. https://t.co/wcDjOfI6v1

Wrong.
Responsibility will fall on horrible people like you that didn’t convince them to end their bigotry and violence. https://t.co/wykehMflgF

People like AOC who sit on the sidelines not risking their own careers, education or freedom and using these people as pawns in a game.
This antisemitic nutjob demanding negotiations with pro-Hamas elements who are blocking Jews from campus?
Joe Biden campaigned with her last week and praised her judgment. https://t.co/yyCI5My9p1

All Democrats agree with her. Let’s be honest.
Four days ago @AOC said the student leader who called to kill all Zionists was “fantastic.” https://t.co/ByzeggXUYn

She meant every word of it. When people show you who they are, believe them.
