On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight," Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) said that, according to "so-called pro-Israel students" at Columbia that he met with when he visited campus last week, the antisemitism they have faced on campus "has been minimal, it has been overblown by the media. We have been uncomfortable, but we don't feel unsafe. This is what I was told by them." He also stated that Columbia is "a place for critical thinking, critical dialogue, critical discussion that makes us uncomfortable, but moves us forward."
