Elon Musk does Nazi salutes and denies the Holocaust, and nobody reviews his $38 billion in federal government contracts. But when college students protest genocide in Gaza, Trump threatens to strip away federal contracts at Harvard.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

Spot on!
