CNN’s Scott Jennings Knocks Democrats Over Their Defense of Harvard

Jennings reminded his CNN colleagues that Democrats are once again on the wrong side of an issue.

From the Daily Caller:

Jennings further said that politicians would “get their ass[es] kicked” if they told the American people that they must hand over $9 billion to an elite university, and stated that universities have posed a national security risk by admitting students who “fundamentally hate western civilization.”

“I think, as a political matter, if you went out to the American people right now and said ‘well, we’re just not gonna make it as a country unless we give $9 billion to Harvard, it’s sitting on $53 billion.’ You’d get your ass kicked, I imagine, in a political campaign,” Jennings said. “Now, don’t misunderstand. I with Harvard would actually work something out here.

I do agree that these universities are important. They do important work. But I don’t agree that we need to continue to fund people who don’t listen to us when we say ‘you have problems.’ I would argue that it’s a national security problem that these Ivy League colleges are turning out people who fundamentally hate western civilization. So there are points to be made here and they need to listen.”

Watch:

"If you went out and argued to the American people right now and said, well, we're just not going to make it as a country unless we give $9 billion to Harvard, that's sitting on $53 billion, you'd get your ass kicked. I imagine, in a political campaign."
