Anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses across the country prove there is a crisis of consequence for student protesters, Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., former challenger to President Joe Biden for the Democrat presidential nomination, told Newsmax on Monday.
"We have a crisis of consequences in this country, and I think that is the real story here," Phillips told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren." "Generations growing up without consequence, thinking anything is fair game, and I think it is time for universities and institutions of higher learning, high schools, elementary schools to reinstate some degree of consequence while supporting the right to free speech. And two things can be true at once in the United States.
"We should all be supporting human life," Phillips said. "We can have empathy for Palestinians who are suffering. We should have empathy for Israelis who have lost their lives. Two things can be true at once. Phillips said he blames social media for putting such antisemitic ideas in the minds of young people.
