COLLINS Isn t it ░░░░░░░░ to watch how your ░░░░░░░░ has been handling this ░░░░░░░░ Democrats obviously not a ░░░░░░░░ handling this differently Congresswoman ░░░░░░░░ Omar was asked about ░░░░░░░░ protests in recent days ░░░░░░░░ she was on Capitol ░░░░░░░░ and I just want ░░░░░░░░ to hear what she ░░░░░░░░ about Jewish students on ░░░░░░░░ campuses and a comment ░░░░░░░░ this weekend Clip starts ░░░░░░░░ I think it is ░░░░░░░░ unfortunate that people don ░░░░░░░░ care about the fact ░░░░░░░░ all Jewish kids should ░░░░░░░░ kept safe and that ░░░░░░░░ should not have to ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism or bigotry ░░░░░░░░ all Jewish students whether ░░░░░░░░ are pro genocide or ░░░░░░░░ genocide genocide Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ Pro genocide or anti ░░░░░░░░ De Blasio I think ░░░░░░░░ s a horrible terminology ░░░░░░░░ I ve disagreed with ░░░░░░░░ Congress member before I ░░░░░░░░ with her using those ░░░░░░░░ But I will say ░░░░░░░░ are a lot of ░░░░░░░░ who feel afraid I ░░░░░░░░ plenty of Jewish students ░░░░░░░░ this country feel afraid ░░░░░░░░ now and they d ░░░░░░░░ exposed to clearly anti ░░░░░░░░ language That s not ░░░░░░░░ who is protesting Again ░░░░░░░░ believe most people who ░░░░░░░░ protesting are trying to ░░░░░░░░ legitimate concerns about what ░░░░░░░░ happening in the region ░░░░░░░░ calling for peace I ░░░░░░░░ peace too I want ░░░░░░░░ war to end But ░░░░░░░░ have to be clear ░░░░░░░░ s language being used ░░░░░░░░ I think some of ░░░░░░░░ s on each side ░░░░░░░░ saw what happened at ░░░░░░░░ as well the minute ░░░░░░░░ use threatening language the ░░░░░░░░ you use exclusionary language ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism that s ░░░░░░░░ progressive that s not ░░░░░░░░ that should not be ░░░░░░░░ And I think college ░░░░░░░░ have a right to ░░░░░░░░ down on that kind ░░░░░░░░ situation because it creates ░░░░░░░░ atmosphere of threat Remember ░░░░░░░░ universities have a responsibility ░░░░░░░░ keep their kids safe ░░░░░░░░ ensure that they feel ░░░░░░░░ that they can go ░░░░░░░░ their education not expecting ░░░░░░░░ be confronted in a ░░░░░░░░ that could be physically ░░░░░░░░ And so right now ░░░░░░░░ would say as a ░░░░░░░░ as a progressive we ░░░░░░░░ to come to grips ░░░░░░░░ this We need to ░░░░░░░░ very blunt Democrat should ░░░░░░░░ that we do not ░░░░░░░░ any violence any anti ░░░░░░░░ any Islamophobia And I ░░░░░░░░ if we don t ░░░░░░░░ that the Republicans are ░░░░░░░░ to weaponize this issue ░░░░░░░░ the fall election So ░░░░░░░░ would further say if ░░░░░░░░ care about this country ░░░░░░░░ my perspective you care ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden being elected ░░░░░░░░ let s stop fooling ░░░░░░░░ here We have to ░░░░░░░░ any kind of violence ░░░░░░░░ kind of exclusion You ░░░░░░░░ t have any tolerance ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism for example ░░░░░░░░ will poison the well ░░░░░░░░ and morally COLLINS Former ░░░░░░░░ York City Mayor Bill ░░░░░░░░ Blasio thank you for ░░░░░░░░ us here on set ░░░░░░░░
