<p>House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) accused the White House on Wednesday of &#8220;caving&#8221; to anti-Semitism that he believes is getting too much of a pass in today&#8217;s Democratic Party.</p>
<p>A &#8220;real problem&#8221; right now is a lack of &#8220;strong leadership&#8221; from the White House and Democrats in Congress, Johnson told radio host Hugh Hewitt in an <a href="https://hughhewitt.com/speaker-mike-johnson-on-his-trip-to-columbia-the-state-department-leak-about-sanctioning-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, the White House is caving to the antisemitic — I call it the pro-Hamas wing of the party. Now they backpedaled on their support for Israel,&#8221; Johnson said.</p>
<p>Although Biden has declared <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4610240-biden-marks-passover-with-statement-of-ironclad-support-for-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;ironclad&#8221; support</a> for Israel and backs aid for the country, he has also taken actions that could alleviate blowback from pro-Palestinian allies, including members of the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/bidens-support-from-progressives-at-risk-over-border-bill-and-israel-f44ed8f7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221;</a> in the House.</p>
<p>Biden <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/politics/biden-trump-threat-to-democracy/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s approach to the war against Hamas in Gaza and <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/14/biden-netanyahu-iran-israel-us-wont-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly warned</a> Netanyahu the United States would not support Israel in a counterattack against Iran after a recent drone and missile attack.</p>
<p>Johnson, in his discussion with Hewitt, also chided Democrats for not doing more to condemn <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6351366323112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protesters chanting</a> for &#8220;death&#8221; to America.</p>
<p>&#8220;They won&#8217;t call that out and some members, Democratic members of Congress, are even calling these anti-Semitic mobs peaceful protesters and defending the harassment, intimidation and all the rest,&#8221; Johnson said.</p>
<p>&#8220;So it&#8217;s really become a serious problem,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And they&#8217;re allowing mob rule to overtake the American ideals of free speech and the free exchange of ideas and in the free exercise of religion. This is not who we are.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson is planning a visit later on Wednesday to Columbia University, where a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-rabbi-warns-of-extreme-antisemitism-advises-jewish-students-to-return-home-asap" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rabbi warned</a> Jewish students to go home amid safety concerns stemming from pro-Palestinian demonstrations taking place around campus.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>The speaker told Hewitt that acts of harassment and intimidation being reported at Columbia and other colleges are &#8220;disgusting and unacceptable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson voiced support for revoking federal funds for universities that cannot get a grip on the situation and for pulling student visas for &#8220;violent protesters&#8221; from other countries.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re calling upon and demanding these university officials to get control. This situation is just completely out of control right now,&#8221; Johnson said.</p>
