Joe Scarborough Blasts University ‘Adults’ Allowing Genocidal Chants By Students Who ‘Don’t Understand’

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough laced into the people running college campuses on Monday, asking why they’ve allowed the protests that have disrupted the tail end of the semester to become “genocidal.”

But mostly, Scarborough wanted to know, “Where are the adults!?”

Morning Joe played a short clip from 1968 of a student at Columbia University talking about bringing the campus “to a halt” over the Vietnam War. That led to Scarborough slamming current university leaders for letting protests reach such a fever pitch:

I’ve got to say, it makes as much sense in 2024 having 18- or 19-year-old people running college campuses, as it did in 1968, which is to say, doesn’t make any sense at all. And you do wonder where the adults are, the adults that are supposed to be running the university. The amount of money that they are paid to educate students, and they can’t allow students to go to class because a small subset of those students and outside agitators want to shut down the campus.

Where are the adults? It’s staggering. Not just to me. I know I’m a conservative. Not just to me, but to 90 percent of Americans. They want to know where the adults are at Columbia. They want to go where the adults are at Penn. They want to know where the adults are at Harvard. They want to know where the adults are at all of these college campuses, where they’re letting their students and outside agitators run across the campus, shut down debate, scream whenever anybody tries to talk, reason to them, shout genocidal chants, hold up signs pointing to Jews saying Hamas’s next victims. Holding up signs talking about the “Final Solution.” Chanting constantly: “From the river to the sea.” Do you know what “From the river to the sea” is? If you don’t. That’s all right. Most of the students chanting it don’t understand that they are chanting genocidal comments.
