Josh Hawley Calls for DOJ Investigation Into Student-Led Pro-Palestine Groups on College Campuses

Fox News host Sean Hannity devoted part of his Thursday night coverage to the pro-Palestine student groups on college campuses, including Harvard University, who have been placing the blame for the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. Hannity’s guest was Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), and he had a proposal concerning these groups: sic the Department of Justice on them.

Hannity couldn’t hide his disgust when talking about the groups and even called the students participating in them “dumb and ignorant.” But Hawley had a more authoritarian approach to dealing with not just the student groups but the institutions that were seemingly supporting them by staying silent on the Israel-Hamas war:

Let’s be honest. [Hamas wants] to, they would kill every Jew in the world if they could. That’s what these terrorists want. And to be silent in the face of that or to celebrate it as these crazy student groups are doing? What I want to know, Sean, is who’s funding these student groups? I hope that the DOJ is investigating where the money is coming from. Are there terror groups who are part of these networks who are infiltrating our campuses? I mean, this is crazy stuff that we’re seeing on these campuses. And for these administrators to have their hand out to take federal money, taxpayer money, and at the same time be silent or silently condone this kind of terrorism is just it is grotesque.

Following the statement co-signed by more than 30 student-led pro-Palestine groups, Harvard University president Claudine Gay issued a statement on behalf of the university’s leadership “condemning the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas” and adding “while our students have the right to speak for themselves, no student group — not even 30 student groups — speaks for Harvard University or its leadership.
