Rep. Tlaib finally responds.
Only took her four days, and she makes it about her faith and her ethnicity.

Yeah, another one of the "apologies" that really isn't. (Like the BLM one)

Reminds me of the BLM protests. Some folks love to get swept into the cathartic glee of a protest for “the repressed”, often without any direct connection to the subject, and often without any statistic or logical thought if it’s based in reality.

Not strange or foul, but this might get Penn's attention.
Huntsman "closed the checkbook."
1987 College graduate Jon Huntsman Jr. told Penn President Liz Magill that his family will stop donating to Penn, stripping the University of a longtime donor amid backlash from influential trustees and alumni.
In an email to Magill obtained by The Daily Pennsylvanian, Huntsman — a former University trustee, governor of Utah, and United States ambassador — said that the Huntsman Foundation will "close its checkbook" on future donations to Penn. Huntsman, whose family has donated tens of millions to Penn over the course of three generations, wrote that the University had become "almost unrecognizable" due to administrators' response to antisemitism.
"Moral relativism has fueled the university’s race to the bottom and sadly now has reached a point where remaining impartial is no longer an option," he wrote to Magill after a meeting of the Board of Trustees on Friday night.
Huntsman expressed disappointment in Penn's alleged "silence" to the attack by Hamas on Israel.
"The University’s silence in the face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the people of Israel (when the only response should be outright condemnation) is a new low," Huntsman wrote. "Silence is antisemitism, and antisemitism is hate, the very thing higher ed was built to obviate."
I'm so old that I remember when someone cried "silence is violence!" these asshats nodded approvingly, staged a "kneel-in" in congress and condoned the burning and looting of our cities.

I don't understand how anyone with an institutional role that is publicly visible posts political shit on social media. I never did post political shit except for our little hideout here, and now as chair of the Foundation I'm even more careful.
Only non-witches get due process.
