Bash pressed Schumer on the issue, especially considering he recently published a book on anti-Semitism in America. She asked point-blank:
“Trump, as you well know, says he’s cracking down on Harvard and other universities because of their response, or lack thereof, to those anti-Semitic incidents that you’re describing,” Bash said. “How do you think he’s doing with that?”
Schumer’s response was as predictable as it was weak. In typical D.C. fashion, rather than addressing the core issue, he accused Trump of abusing his power — because if Trump supports something, Schumer apparently feels obligated to oppose it.
“What Trump is doing goes way beyond anti-Semitism,” Schumer whined. “He is going after these universities like he’s going after judges, like he is going to after law firms, like he going after the media.”
Rather than offering a real plan of action, Schumer revealed that his big move against Trump’s crackdown on Harvard was… sending a letter.
That’s right. While Americans are demanding accountability and serious consequences for institutions promoting hatred, Chuck Schumer thinks a sternly-worded letter will do the trick.
“Because he just doesn’t – he doesn’t believe in democracy. He thinks he’s king, as he said. And he did this at Harvard. So a bunch of us, Jewish senators, just sent a letter to the administration saying, detail the specific incidence of antisemitism and why cutting money off to cancer research or to Alzheimer’s research has anything to do with antisemitism,” Schumer admitted.

He added,
“So we sent him a very strong letter just the other day, asking eight very strong questions about why this isn’t just a pretext.”
Unsurprisingly, even Schumer’s loyal media allies struggled to defend him. Many mocked the idea that a simple letter would somehow deter Trump, who has proven time and time again that he doesn’t back down under political pressure.
Meanwhile, Schumer’s standing among New York Democrats is collapsing. His approval ratings have cratered by more than 20 points, and rumors are swirling that progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may challenge him in a 2028 primary.
Rank-and-file Democrats are demanding a fighter — someone who can match Trump’s energy and determination. What they got from Schumer is a whimper, not a roar.
This mess also raises a bigger question that many Americans are asking: Why on earth should taxpayers be handing over $2 billion to Harvard — a university sitting on a $53 billion endowment — in the first place?
As Democrats squabble among themselves about how best to oppose Trump, regular Americans see the truth: Harvard doesn’t need another dime from Washington, and neither does Chuck Schumer deserve another term representing them.
