Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) described the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protests on college campuses as “radical leftism” during an interview. He expressed concern about how the radical left has infiltrated institutions like Columbia University and UCLA, using their influence to cause chaos from within.
Johnson emphasized that these anti-Semitic protests have been brewing for decades and are more about radical leftism than just anti-Semitism. He warned that universities have been taken over by the left since the 1960s, graduating advocates for their cause and indoctrinating America’s youth.
The senator highlighted the impact of radical leftism on communities like Madison, Wisconsin, which heavily supported President Biden in the 2020 election. He pointed out that university towns tend to lean blue, influencing surrounding areas as well.
Overall, Johnson believes that the radical left has infiltrated institutions to destroy American culture and capitalism from within.
