  1. "In order to save Democracy we're kicking people off the ballot.", the Democrats

  2. It's not just the Jewish people who they want dead. "Are you down with the cause?" = "From the river to the sea."

  3. Democrats = Hate to Whites, Jews, America
    Democrats = Love to Muslims, Palestinians, Every America's enemy

  4. But Harvard, has kept her on at $900,000 a year as a faculty member. Students who cheated and were punished should sue Harvard and anyone paying money for their children to go there should ask for a full refund. Can you imagine paying their yearly tuition for this kind of nonsense?

  5. good lord, how terribly embarrassing !
    😂🤣😂🤦🏽‍♂️🥴🤡

  6. Plagiarism and Democrats together in Equity

  7. Equity is a meal ticket for a certain privileged bunch

  8. Equity is a meal ticket for a certain privileged bunch

  9. Being a disgusting 'naughtsy' wasn't enough to cost her job, it was numerous cases of plagiarism that upset her superiors – though not very much; she still has her position at the university, free to continue her fakery and poisoning of student minds.

    Skinheads, klan, and far-right neofascists are repulsive enough; but the pure evil oozing from so many on the political left these past few weeks severely shakes one's faith in this nation's future.

  10. Woke backfire what a joke college is

  11. good and to use Racism as a exit decision she is FULL of it. Has nothing to do with her color It has everythign to do with her behavior and lies. Especially when another black woman has had her material used by her to pass classes. HARVARD IS A JOKE

  12. Why is she still a paid faculty member?

  13. She got the seat only for the color of her skin. This is disgusting.

  14. WHAT has HARVARD done to comply with the recent SCOTUS decision banning AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in student admissions? HARVARD was the main defendant in that case.

  15. It is about time. So smart, yet so dumb.

  16. She was no incredibly inept and under-qualified to have that role. The ONLY reason was she is black, that is it. What a sad country we have become.

  17. Is freedom of expression antisemitism? I always thought that freedom of expression is in the Constitution. Has it been removed from the Constitution? When anti Zionism became anti Judaism?

  18. Wonderful news about time Harvard the worst school 😂😂😂

  19. Race was the reason she was hired not fired!!! Another DEI success story!!!

  20. Yes please!!!!! Black ppl don’t belong in any type of high authority!!!! Just like mayor Tiffany A. Henyard!!!!!

  21. Getting rid of her isn’t going to fix the problem. They’ll just replace her with someone of the same viewpoint and therefore the same solutions, just a little less obvious. We need to shut the whole college down and replace the entire staff with real educators not activists.

    When the Marxists established the USSR they actually killed far more Jews than Hitler did.

    Most of the major colleges are brainwashing our children to be radical marxists. If you don't want that then send your kids to a faith based college.

  22. Diversity hires at it again huh

  23. All these accusations and she is claiming the race card as her only excuse!

  24. She should’ve been fine too because she allowed students to conduct hate protests towards Jewish students who had nothing to do with Israel, but they’re working towards what happened to Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself

  25. Poor Lester and the liberal media, you sad sad clowns 🤡…

  26. If they dont get you in the wash cycle they get you in the rinse cycle! Everyone has a file 🗂 and its only a matter of time before its opened for public consumption.

  27. Good, they got rid of this Biden political diversity hire. She couldn't stand behind oppressed and frightened students on her campus but the woke college still stands behind her . . . unbelievable. Did they just say she will still be teaching there after, and I quote, "numerous plagiarism charges." Oh how the mighty have fallen to protect wokeism.

  28. Why is this big news… Who cares

  29. I wonder if people will be able to get a good grade in her class by doing what she did❓ Almost half of her publications had plagiarism.

  30. crazy how anti semitism was fine, but plagiarism gets her fired

  31. So the publications she had were all basically being scrutinized…
    President of Harvard.

    Mofos still wanna claim they’re oppressed.

  32. Free speech! Luv u, why can't we talk about this? Corporate law why can't we talk about this???

  33. Its SO obvious that NBC is totally bias, these "reporters " are just shameful, because this person C.gay is a fraud and a plagiarist, and has destroyed the reputation and all credibility of Harvard a ONCE great institution, smh

  34. What’s more amazing? That she resigned? Or that 9.5 million people subscribe to the lame stream media on YouTube? 🤔🫨🤡#StayWoke.

  35. It's so hard to figure out 32 different languages to try to speak out on a public figure platform and to try to accomplish an agreement with all languages the government does not wish to accomplish why can't a College figure this out the freedom of speech it's so high and the abolishment of other governments and not to figure out each other it astonishes me data University cannot come to agreement freedom of speech will always exist nobody at all the harm.
    Luv u
    Im so sorry that corporate executives let you down you should have a right to free speech and freedom and talk about things in the executive order. Corporate you should know this is wrong what you done you get so much free taxes from me I paid the way for your tightwad corporate question mark

  36. She still keeps her 900k a year salary though
