Columbia Protest Organizer Khymani James Takes Aim at AOC Amid Backlash

These people are not "progressives" or "liberals" or "democrats"- they're anarchists. They are NOT OUR FRIENDS. F*** them and F*** their stupid encampments and F*** their overly inflated egos and F*** their obstructive, divisive, entitled ideals and F*** their futures- I hope they suffer crushing student debt and never find a decent job after this.

""If you are letting in politicians to your encampment who condemn the Palestinian resistance and endorse Genocide Joe, you have fully lost the plot," the post from a fellow student protester read. "Encampments should be sites of resistance, not Democratic Party photo-ops. BEWARE OF CO-OPTATION.""

...to say the least.

Advocating for the murder of anyone not only completely undermines and negates any cause (let alone the cause of saving Palestinian lives), if he thinks AOC is condemning the calls for a ceasefire, he's just plain nuts.

The article doesn't address whether he was expelled.

What a terrible divisive leader for a movement.

Was written by another student protester. This isn't just one wacky guy's philosophy- this is exactly how these students view the party and Pres. Biden.
