Columbia University’s encampment leaders didn’t mince words about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s April 24 visit but had no comment when asked for a response to his threat of Congressional intervention.
Gavin McInnes, the founder of the Proud Boys, was also reportedly seen on campus grounds on the same day, which upset some protestors.
