House Speaker Mike Johnson , backed by a small group of fellow Republican House members, had a simple message Wednesday for Columbia University students who have set up a protest in the college’s main square.
Rep. Virginia Foxx , chairwoman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee and onetime president of Mayland Community College in North Carolina, urged Shafik to take stronger action to quell the protests. In addition to potentially bolstering his reputation for being willing to fight progressives publicly, Johnson’s visit could also boost the political profiles of the New York members who appeared with him.
