Protesters Heckle Mike Johnson During Speech at Columbia University (VIDEO)

Students at Columbia University heckled Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) during his speech on Wednesday, addressing the rise of antisemitism on college and university campuses in the past week.

As Johnson began his speech at Columbia University, the crowd could be heard booing.

“We are standing here right now on the steps of the Low Library. In this very building right behind us, Columbia University once awarded Winston Churchill an honorary degree,” Johnson said. “And, it was Churchill who said, ‘It is manifestly right that Jews should have a national home where they may be reunited.’ We believe in that principle. And, today, I’m here to proclaim, to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of Israel off the map and attack our innocent Jewish students, this simple truth: neither Israel nor these Jewish students on this campus will ever stand alone.”

Video footage posted to X showed Columbia University students in the crowd shouting, “Get the f**k off our campus!” as Johnson was speaking.
