https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/25/california-senate-steve-garvey-student-protesters-terrorists-00154453Republican 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 theyre saying is: theyre pro-Hamas, he said at a press conference in Los Angeles, standing in front of Israeli flags. Theyre pro-terrorists. Theyre 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 dont really understand what its 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.
