Robert Kraft to Hannity on the upward push of antisemitism: ‘It is extraordinarily sad to me’

All right this is a Fox News Alert We are continuing to monitor the pramas protests in New York City earlier tonight police did clear out protesters at myyu in New York City and we are now hearing by the way that they're marching toward New York Police Department headquarters also tonight as outrage grows over the continuing anti-semitic.

Protest on the campus of Columbia University well the school has just lost the financial support of one of their most prominent alumni New England Patriots owner Robert Craft has donated Untold millions of dollars to Colombia and the school's Center for Jewish life and its football field are both named after him and Robert Craft has renamed.

Uh remained active in in the Columbia Community for years he's grateful he got a scholarship that got his life life kickstarted anyway appearing on campus at school events meeting with students and much more more he'd been very tied to the university but now the blatant anti-Semitism on Colombia's campus is simply too great to ignore in a.

Statement today Robert Craft announ announced that he is quote not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken adding that Colombia is quote no longer an institution I recognize anyway here with more to explain the CEO uh of the New England Patriots our friend Robert Craft is back Robert great to see you Happy.

Passover thank you for taking time to be with us thank you it's great to be with you Sean you said it was you know ahead I never thought I'd see what's going on in America what's happening right now and it really um pains me to see it you know we have our holiday going on now it goes back to memor memory of thousands of.

Years ago where negative things were happening and the same is happening now in this great country that offered so many opportunities to our families who came here as immigrants and we have to keep it open we can't have this intimidation that's filtering through all these colleges and the hate continue to grow and and multiply the way it is.

You know I never thought in our lifetime Mr craft ever that we would be where we are today and I thought you summed it up very well how saddened you are at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout the country you know it's also the halls of Congress it's also all throughout Europe you know I never thought out of Australia people.

Would chant gas the Jew F the Jews Robert Craft I never thought the world would turn this way I thought we would have learned from history clearly we've not yeah and it it's very sad to me and you know we you know but look at America we we've done research and it shows 90% of the people in this country are good people they just have to be.

Educated and we can't have them apathetic or misguided we have to let them know and they have to stand up and not be silent um and how you know it starts with the Jews but then every group that feels marginalized whether it be blacks Asians Hispanics gay people it'll just really impact the great fabric of this country where people have.

Freedom to operate and go the way they want and and now we have hatred and intimidation taking over and you know I was just thinking when I went to Colombia it was a place where people listen were empathetic had compassion and now you know we have professors who instead of teaching how to think that they're trying to tell our young people.

What they should think and I think one of the biggest problems that we have to do something about is really tenure in these universities where people can do things and don't have accountability yeah you know you have tenur professors there that were celebrating October 7th 1,00 Israelis were were slaughtered that day uh the.

Number of children that were burn burn to death or decapitated the rapes that took place the the hostages that were taken you know you talk with great affection about Colombia and then you say you're not comfortable supporting this University until corrective action is taken what corrective action would you insist.

On yeah well you I must point one little detail I do still support the Craft Center which has been a Haven for professors and students uh who don't feel safe and um and I also have to compliment you know the mayor Eric Adams who I think he has been a standup guy the police Governor Huell and really you know that's made me.

Feel good to see that there are people like this who aren't afraid to stand up and have the courage to say the right thing Robert this has to stop I think you need a new president there and if these kids continue this frankly many of them need to be expelled Robert Craft thank you hey Sean Hannity here hey click here to subscribe to Fox News.
