Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has avoided visiting Columbia University amid ongoing and escalating antisemitic demonstrations.
It has persisted since then, being spurred on by the support of high-profile Democratic legislators from New York. Both Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., were seen visiting members of the encampment as it continued to gain national media attention and attract significant backlash.
