Washington, D.C. - In case you missed it, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined Hannity with Sean Hannity on Fox News.
View highlights from the interview below.
On President Trump Protecting Jewish Students Which Biden Failed to Do:
“That hearing occurred during the Biden Administration, and what did we see from Joe Biden? Zero action to protect Jewish students on campuses and to hold these universities accountable. Two of those three university presidents were forced to resign, and there was an additional four from other universities that were forced to resign, but President Trump correctly made the correct decision to defund these institutions. If you look at what they required for Harvard, it was protection of Jewish students, it is making sure that we are getting rid of DEI, which by definition, is antisemitic, and instead, Harvard is acting more entitled than ever. President Trump made the direct and correct decision to defund to the tune of over $2 billion these higher ed institutions that have fundamentally lost their way. U.S. taxpayer dollars should never be propping up antisemitism and the vast majority of the American people support President Trump and support the work that we are doing in Congress to hold these higher ed institutions accountable.”
On President Trump Cutting $2 Billion in Taxpayer Funding to Harvard:
“The vast majority of the American people do not want to prop up these institutions. I, myself, am a first-generation college graduate. I graduated from Harvard. That's clearly not the achievement. The achievement is maintaining my common sense and my conservatism and my strong values with which I was raised in and strong moral leadership. There is so much opportunity across this country for the next generation, whether it's in the workforce, whether it's in this manufacturing renaissance that is going to happen under President Donald J. Trump, whether it's community colleges or trade schools, vocational programs. That is a pathway to success. Higher education has fundamentally lost its way, and it's increasingly out of touch, and the tuition rates go higher and higher. So we need to defund across the board, and President Trump is rightly holding these schools accountable.”
