Harvard president blasted after attending menorah lighting: 'Performative'

Harvard's embattled president Claudine Gay attended a menorah lighting ceremony at the university on Wednesday amid resounding calls to resign over antisemitism demonstrations on campus and a lackluster testimony to Congress on the topic.

Approximately 100 students attended the daily lighting ceremony, which was organized by the Harvard Chabad organization. Gay, alongside Professor Jeff Bussgang, was spotted lighting the first candle.

In an Instagram post, the Harvard Chabad announced Gay's presence at the lighting, which led to her being blasted in the comment section.

"When someone asks for a definition of the word, ‘performative,’ we can show them this!" one person wrote.

"What a joke," another wrote. "Absolutely disgraceful."

"Resign," others commented.

Gay's appearance came the day after Harvard’s highest governing body announced that they would not be terminating her.
