Ocasio-Cortez Blasts NYC Mayor, Columbia Leaders Over Protest Handling

In a fiery response, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t hold back when she criticized Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Columbia University’s presidents. Ocasio-Cortez was not happy about the situation at Columbia University, especially Mayor Adams’ comments about the protest being taken over by “professional outside agitators.”

Calling out the mayor and university leaders, Ocasio-Cortez made it clear that if any harm came to the students, the blame would squarely fall on their shoulders. She pointed out that other schools and leaders have handled similar situations with more care and tact, emphasizing the importance of ensuring public safety.

The congresswoman described the unfolding events as a “nightmare in the making” and urged Mayor Adams to change course immediately. It was a strong statement from Ocasio-Cortez, showing her passion for protecting the students and criticizing what she saw as a lack of leadership on the part of the mayor and university presidents.

Meanwhile, the situation at Columbia University escalated as NYPD officers in riot gear removed anti-Israel protesters from Hamilton Hall. Videos showed protesters causing damage and hanging banners, leading to the university restricting campus access and threatening expulsion for those involved in the occupation.

Columbia University defended its actions, stating that the protesters had left them with no other choice after vandalizing the building and blocking entry. The clash between the protesters and the university administration highlighted the tensions surrounding the protest and its impact on the campus community.
