N.Y. Gov. Hochul: Johnson 'Adding' to Columbia Division

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday blasted House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., over his trip to Columbia University, saying his visit “is only adding to the division” over the ongoing pro-Palestinian protest on campus.

Johnson traveled to Columbia’s campus on Wednesday to deliver a speech, but his remarks were reportedly drowned out by protestors, whom he accused of supporting Hamas and Hezbollah as they called out, “Stop the genocide.”

Hochul, speaking to reporters on Wednesday afternoon, said that Johnson should have stayed in Washington.
