Well-known TV host and author Doctor Philip McGraw, best known as ‘Dr. Phil,’ shared a video calling for the resignation of the presidents from Harvard University and MIT after their responses to questions regarding anti-Semitism.
On Sunday morning, Dr. Phil published a video in which he called for the presidents of MIT and Harvard University to resign over their refusal to acknowledge that calls for the extermination of the Jewish people are against university policy.
Dr. Phil told Representative Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) that calling for the genocide of Jews only violates their policies of bullying and harassment if said in the “proper context.”
Dr. Phil denounced the testimonies of the leaders of Harvard University, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania before Congress last week. He claimed that they exuded “sickening smugness” and “an arrogance and dismissiveness seldom seen in that forum” during the congressional hearing
“As an American, I grow increasingly appalled at the anti-Semitism permeating so much of our country, especially by so many students at our elite universities, which have become left-liberal woke hotbeds fostering intellectual rot rather than critical thinking, and tolerated or endorsed by their administrations,” Dr. Phil said.
“This weaponized prejudice has never been more on display than when university presidents from Harvard, MIT, and University of Pennsylvania testified on Capitol Hill, with sickening smugness and condescending to the panel with an arrogance and dismissiveness seldom seen in that forum. They were asked a simple question: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your policy against bullying and harassment?” he stated. “To be 100% clear, using the dictionary definition of genocide, the question becomes, does calling for the deliberate killing of a large number of Jews with the aim of destroying the Jewish ethnic group and the nation of Israel violate your policy against bullying and harassment?”
“University Presidents Gay, Magill, and Kornbluth disgustingly evaded Representative Stefanik’s questions [with] ‘It depends on context,’” he added. “I’ll give you some context. While you were intellectually selling out, bringing shame to your institutions and this country, I was working with the Israeli consulate, viewing the highly restricted footage of October 7th from actual bodycams from terrorists themselves, victims’ cell phones recovered from their dead, tortured, raped, desecrated bodies, as well s raw CCTV footage and other sources. The targets were all unarmed civilians, including men, women, children, and the elderly, hunted, tortured, raped, dismembered, beheaded, and executed without mercy.”
Dr. Phil also accused the university presidents of giving into the tragedies, claiming that they knew “how traumatizing” protests on university campuses by anti-Israel groups were to Jewish students.
Claudine Gay of Harvard, Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania and Sally Kornbluth of MIT “evaded” the question. As a result, Magill resigned from her position due to backlash from the situation.
