House Speaker Mike Johnson has called for the resignation of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, labeling her as 'very weak' and 'inept' due to her handling of anti-Israel protests on campus. Johnson, who is visiting the university on Wednesday afternoon amid significant pro-Palestine protests and rising antisemitism, will meet with Jewish students and hold a press conference to address these issues. His visit and demands come as the university faces national scrutiny over its response to the protests, which have been linked to broader concerns about antisemitism on college campuses. Johnson's actions are supported by bipartisan pleas, and House Republicans are threatening to cut federal funds to universities that do not protect Jewish students.
