And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

The White House is basically taking all international students at Harvard hostage, and saying they are doing so to protect Jewish students on campus. Does anyone seriously think this makes Jewish students safer, or reduces anti-semitism?
