Harvard President Gay apologizes for failing to convey ‘my truth’ during congressional hearing
Harvard University President Claudine Gay has issued an apology for her Tuesday congressional testimony in which she insisted that the acceptability of “calling for the genocide of Jews” on Harvard’s campus “depends on context” of the call for genocide.
“I am sorry. Words matter,” Gay told the Harvard Crimson on Thursday.
“I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures,” Gay told The Crimson. “What I should have had the presence of mind to do in that moment was return to my guiding truth, which is that calls for violence against our Jewish community — threats to our Jewish students — have no place at Harvard, and will never go unchallenged.”
“Substantively, I failed to convey what is my truth.”
During the hearing Rep. Elise Stefanik (R- NY) asked Gay: “At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment?”
“It can be, depending on the context,” Gay answered.
Stefanik offered Gay multiple chances to re-answer the question, pressing her for a ‘yes or no.’

What a vile, loathsome miscreant this woman turns out to be.
Who comes up with such insincere tripe? She really should resign.
Even if the apology were sincere, she should do the right thing and resign.
(At this level, when did it become acceptable to ask for do-overs?)
“my truth” ?? Who talks like that ??
Sounds like don lemon of CNN. Stop hiding behind your race. Resign.
The claim that everyone’s truth is different is something only liars want people to believe. Remember that. When someone talks about their own personal truth, they’re lying. Always.
Carmen Twilley Ambar, for one. In their world, “my truth” is a suitable substitute for facts.
The same people who yammer about “my truth” are the ones that see everything “in context”, practice moral relativism and never fail to come down on both sides of an issue because they find no right or wrong only shades of gray.
It’s not an apology. It’s a restatement:
“What I should have had the presence of mind to do in that moment was return to my guiding truth, which is that calls for violence against our Jewish community — threats to our Jewish students — have no place at Harvard, and will never go unchallenged.”
She says that calls for violence “have no place at Harvard” and “will never go unchallenged”. Neither of these says that such calls violate Harvard’s policy on harassment. They both say that such statements are abhorrent and should be opposed, something she said at the hearing. But she still didn’t say that the speaker would face disciplinary charges for harassment, as they would if they said (for example) the N word or used the wrong pronouns.
“I am sorry. Words matter,” Gay told the Harvard Crimson on Thursday.”
True. Anyone using the words “my truth” immediately condemns herself.
What the hell is her truth? I gather that it is a fuzzy truth, probably self serving, and flat out untruth.
“My truth” is that “your truth” is fiction.
Gentle reminder:
No American needs to have anything to do with these silly people. Not with their ridiculously over-priced institutions.
You might think you need to go to harvard but you don’t.
Only a committed leftist would think this was a meaningful or worthwhile statement. They have their own language. If it were translated into something more truthful, she would have said, “Shut up, racist!”
Gay said, “I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures,”
Which sounds like Gay is saying “mommeee, it’s Elise Stefanik’s fault, she asked meeeee a question.”
Yeah, that. What’s the expression? Oh, yeah: “You can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
She got where she is by being totally political. Play the game and say anything the other wants to hear to advance not only up the ladder but in the hierarchy of the oppressed. Unfortunately, she finally ran into someone who wouldn’t let it go and demanded she answer a question. She didn’t know how to react to please everyone so resorted to University faculty lounge double speak which they think shows how smart they are and “above it all”.
She has survived in an academic world, the real world just smacked her in the head but don’t worry, she is back in her cocoon of ignorance with her people patting her on the back and telling her how superior she is to those nasty peons and politicians.
Claudine Gay is a documented racist who blames all her problems in life on white people.
Woke trash dumpster fire.
