That same day, he addressed concerns about antisemitism on university campuses during the Biden Administration, contrasting it with President Trump's approach, stating, "Under President Biden, rogue university administrations that allowed rampant antisemitism and unmitigated chaos on our nation’s college campuses got a pass.
