At a congressional hearing, Stefanik bullied some college presidents with the question, “Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules on bullying and harassment?” The president could have answered with a qualified “Yes”. She could have said something like “Yes, but so does calling for the deaths of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Atheists, Gays, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, or any particular group bullying and harassment”.

Of course, Stefanik was silent when Nazis and Klansmen demonstrated in Tennessee in 2018. Trump said that there were good people on both sides. She was also silent in 2022 when Trump hosted Nick Fuentes and Kanye West at Mar-A-Lago. Both are openly anti-Semitic. She was also silent when Fuentes said that Jews should be executed. . That too is bullying and harassment.

But does she think that it’s it okay if a Trump supporter says it?
