Florida’s senior Senator is speaking out about ongoing protests on college campuses against Israel’s continued war footing.
During a Fox News hit, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio argued that brainwashing and indoctrination leveraged a vocal minority of students and others into causing chaos across the land.
“What you have now is a complete breakdown of law and order,” the Senator said on “America Reports.”
“You have hundreds of thousands of American students who can’t go back on campus who feel threatened, who in the middle of finals are being disrupted, who paid a lot of money to go to these schools because a few thousand antisemitic zombies who have been brainwashed by two decades of indoctrination and the belief that the world is divided between victimizers and oppressors, victimizers and victims. And that the victimizer in this particular case, the ones that are oppressing people are Jews in Israel.”
The Senator has accused President Joe Biden of caving to “antisemitic mobs” at various points, and also of being unable to communicate effectively. During Thursday’s cable hit, Rubio said staffers didn’t trust Biden to meet the moment.
“I think they don’t have a lot of confidence in his ability to communicate. I really do and that’s a problem because one of the key jobs of a President in a moment like this is to go before the nation, explain what’s happening, put it in context. And I don’t think they have a lot of confidence that he has the ability to do that. They’re afraid of what might happen,” Rubio argued.
Rubio also suggested that splinters in the Democratic coalition were in play, with “elements of his activist base, not just in Michigan, but in the Democratic Party, donors and the like, who sympathize with what these protesters are about.”

Democrats advocated to defund the police. They don’t want law and order. Biden is destroying America.

Let’s see if the police bring in any of the right-wing thugs who physically assaulted peacefully protesting students at UCLA. And, no, the thugs weren’t Antifa.

I wonder if the GOP and Rubio would be condemning these antisemitic when they found our it is Trump’s base of voters and supporters at his rallies

The protestors are protesting in support of human life.
The G0P claims to be pro-life, but there’s one problem: G0P’s support of human life ends where action begins.
The G0P claims to support life, right up until they might actually have to. Then your life is your own problem.

Rubio needs to show us his long form birth certificate. People are saying he’s an alien. Not a Cuban or Mexican or Venezuelan, but an actual space alien. That’s why his fingers and ears are all wrong.

Actually Marco most of the college student protests have been peaceful.
HOWEVER, as reported elsewhere there have been outside agitators fueled by Republicans (Johnson) who have showed up on campuses…..to incite violence.
I find it hard to fathom that right wing Jews would arrive at any American campus with metal baseball bats and fireworks!
So who are these agitators and what are their prior arrest records…… why don’t you tell us Marco?

This is Chicago 1968 all over again. Continued protests could cost Biden Michigan. Israel will need to go after Hezbollah shortly. Will see who protests the Israel when it goes after the Iranian backed kidnappers of all of Lebanon. Another place where cowards hide behind women and children.
How could Gaza take in billions in foreign aid and never end up with reliable water and electricity. I guess the tunnels and the rockets were more important. And now, they could stop the war in hours by releasing the hostages and surrendering but no one wants that, certainly not the kids on campus who are going to disrupt the graduations of all of their fellow students.
As long as a medieval 14th century religion (and an older one) have control of things there will be no peace for anyone.

In the outside world, folks don’t ask about your graduation and how it went. Employers want to know if you graduated, which some of the protestors are risking.
There is a reason that pre-October Gaza was characterized as an open prison. An assault on Rafah can be avoided by paroling Hamas militants and giving them and their supporters free passage to a third country — if one or more could be found.
Netanyahu is trying desperately to avoid justice in court and will do anything to stay in control. No one should want a conflict with Hezbollah — especially Lebanese — but it won’t be shooting fish in a barrel, like Gaza, if Israelis allow Netanyahu to lead them into Lebanon.
The role of US evangelicals has yet to be fully explored, but they may be rooting for 666.
