UPenn’s Liz Magill voluntarily resigned after she faced widespread criticism for appearing to dodge a question at a congressional hearing about campus antisemitism.

House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. — who recently went viral for engaging in a contentious exchange with university presidents at a congressional hearing on antisemitism — on Saturday praised the resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.

“One down. Two to go,” Stefanik wrote on X. “This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most ‘prestigious’ higher education institutions in America.”

      Wisdom comes from the understanding that there is nuance to everything. Only those who lack the maturity to understand this concept, or benefit from those who do, attempt to paint the world in black and white.

      No, you do not rile me up. You do not trigger me. I was illuminating the issue with your argument so other people who stop in here may gain some insight. In other words, I am using your ignorance as an example so those with more intellectual honesty might benefit.

        im glad we agree on one thing. how many people are clapping for you right now? did you win any awards?

        i think the pendulum swings in two directions. what do you imagine people think of you, if you weren’t riled up. why did you reply?

        strange.
