Rev. Thompson on Columbia Uni Protests: If the White House Isn’t Careful, They’re Going to Hand this Election to the ‘Bibi of America’

EXCERPT:

THOMPSON: “Yeah, 1968. Same thing. And honestly, you know, we — it looks like we’re headed back there. What happened in 1968? Democratic convention in Chicago and people were protesting the Vietnam War. Here we are again protesting the war and what the well paid consultant class doesn’t seem to be able to get over to the White House is that he’s very much looking like LBJ at this moment. And if the White House isn’t careful, they’re going to hand this election over to the Bibi of America, which is Donald Trump. But I’m very proud of these students. They remind us of all the things we used to do. We went yesterday as clergy, myself, Reverend Stephen Green, Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, and we prayed, we shared communion. And so we can do two things at once. You can say happy Passover to our Jewish sisters and brothers.”
