California Senate candidate Steve Garvey calls student protesters 'terrorists'

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/25/california-senate-steve-garvey-student-protesters-terrorists-00154453

Republican Senate candidate Steve Garvey delivered sharp words Thursday about college students protesting the Israel-Hamas war, repeatedly calling them “terrorists” and urging university leaders and law enforcement to take action.

“What they’re saying is: they’re pro-Hamas,” he said at a press conference in Los Angeles, standing in front of Israeli flags. “They’re pro-terrorists. They’re supporting terrorism.”

Garvey, flanked by an Israeli Special Operations veteran and a rabbi, accused the protests of being “terrorism disguised as free speech,” and said the students are “making a statement that they probably don’t really understand what it’s about.”

“This is organized support of terrorism,” he said, adding that he believes in free speech, but arguing that interrupting classes and obstructing the opportunity to learn is terrorism.
