On Wednesday, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about a speech given by Senator John Fetterman at Yeshiva University in New York City.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Sen. John Fetterman<\/a> told Yeshiva University graduates Wednesday that he was \u201cprofoundly disappointed\u201d in Harvard University\u2019s<\/a> inability to address antisemitism on campus before removing the ceremonial crimson academic hood representing his alma mater.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania Democrat expressed his disapproval of the Ivy League school during his commencement address at the private Orthodox Jewish university, which bestowed on him its \u201cHero of Israel\u201d award, the institution\u2019s highest honor.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been profoundly disappointed [in] Harvard\u2019s inability to stand up for the Jewish community after Oct. 7,\u201d Fetterman, 54, told the new grads at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senator Fetterman has openly condemned the attacks of October 7th and supported Israel in its efforts to defend itself.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Fetterman received his undergraduate degree in 1991 from Albright College in Pennsylvania and obtained an MBA from the University of Connecticut in 1993.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The senator graduated from Harvard\u2019s Kennedy School of Government in 1999 with a master of public policy degree. He has previously said he doesn\u2019t \u201crecognize\u201d the school<\/a> as the same place he once attended.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs an alum of Harvard \u2014 look, I graduated 25 years ago, and of course, it was always a little pinko,\u201d he told Semafor in January. \u201cBut now, I don\u2019t recognize it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month, Fetterman endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. and current US Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) to take over the presidency of Harvard<\/a>, which is currently being held on an interim basis by Alan Garver, the university\u2019s former provost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senator Fetterman has a rather questionable sense of decorum–if you look at the pictures in the article, you notice that he is probably wearing his signature gym shorts under his robe. However, I must say that some of his statements as a Senator have impressed me. He is not afraid to speak his mind when he disagrees with his fellow Democrats. He was elected in 2022 and will be in office until 2028.I wonder if the Pennsylvania Democrats will run a candidate against him if he decides to run for another term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
