Montana Senator: Stop Funding These Antisemitic Universities
It is time to halt federal funding to these college campuses that are allowing this shocking antisemitism to occur. That was the word from Montana's US Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) who joined me from Capitol Hill earlier this week.
Senator Daines: "One of the things we need to do, and I joined my Republican colleagues, by the way, no Democrats have joined us in this effort- and that is, defunding these colleges and universities that are promoting antisemitism. We took a look at the amount of federal funding going to, let's say, Columbia $1.2 billion last year. UCLA in excess of a billion dollars. Yale, $776 million. Harvard $676 million. UT Austin, which is a scene of many of these terrible protests these last couple of days- $646 million. We need to stop the federal funding to these universities that are not stopping antisemitism."
We also talked with Senator Daines about a recent Bidenomics inflation roundtable we hosted along with Americans for Prosperity-Montana at Evergreen Ace Hardware in Billings, Montana.
Senator Daines: "We're at a 40 year high under Joe Biden and Senate Democrats. It's up 20% Since Biden took office, and this really is a shrinking of the paycheck. It's a tax on all Montanans and the folks who are hurt the most can afford it the least."
Daines called out Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) for voting with Senate Democrats on the $2 trillion massive tax and spend bill that is credited with spiking inflation.
Senator Daines: "Jon Tester. We literally, Aaron, are on opposite sides on virtually every single vote in the US Senate. Jon's voted with Joe Biden over 95% of the time. They're trying to cover that up right now because of this election coming up. I think Montanans are seeing through that right now."
