Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) agreed with some of his colleagues in the Senate that federal funding for universities allowing antisemitic protesters on its campuses is “a top-of-mind issue.”

Hagerty appeared Saturday on Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street to react to reports that 2,000 college students were arrested on campuses in their pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Some were charged with misdemeanors such as trespassing, while others stand accused of assaulting police officers. Videos have come out from some of these protesters revealing antisemitic themes in their chants and signage.
