“After flailing around for months unable to unite on anything, House Republicans finally think they’ve found an issue they agree on — countering the scourge of antisemitism on college campuses nationwide,” Punchbowl News reports.

“With 187 days until Election Day, a legislative cupboard that’s all but bare, a presidential impeachment inquiry that’s going nowhere and a speaker who has struggled to generate any discernible level of excitement, the anti-Jewish sentiment that’s spilled out at universities from coast to coast during Gaza war protests offers what Republicans believe is a compelling plot line during the closing months of the 118th Congress.”

They mean they needed to find an issue they could work hand in hand with Russia on as Russia manipulates young people on the internet. There is enough anger without Russia seeding and spreading it. Who needs wedge issues when you can have bar b que tongs with Russia on one side and MAGA on the other working together to rile up the issue.
