Harvard grad student calls for university president's removal over 'disgraceful' answers to Congress

Ivy League presidents testified before Congress Tuesday over antisemitism on their campuses, prompting outrage from some Jewish students who fear for their own safety on campus.

Harvard graduate student Shabbos Kestenbaum called out President Claudine Gay during "FOX & Friends First" on Wednesday after Gay declined to answer "yes" when asked whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates the university's code of conduct.

"This was a softball question of ‘do you condemn the rising rhetoric and violence against Jewish students?’ And none of them would condemn it," Kestenbaum told Todd Piro Wednesday. "If Claudine Gay had a heart, she would resign, and if the Harvard Board of Trustees had a brain, they would fire her."
