Josh Hawley slammed after Fox News' Sean Hannity reports on Sen questioning 'anti-semitic, pro-Hamas' student protests

Sean Hannity and Josh Hawley discussed college campus protests and the Missouri Senator wondered 'who is funding' the students

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On Thursday night's episode of ‘Hannity’, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley proposed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) should conduct an investigation to determine the individuals or groups responsible for organizing what Hannity referred to as “anti-semitic, pro-Hamas” demonstrations occurring on college campuses.

Following this event, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity took to X (formerly Twitter) to give more updates on his interview with Hawley and the Senator’s remarks on the protests happening on college campuses.

However, the internet did not respond positively to Hawley’s remarks and questioned the protests, as several slammed him saying, “Josh doesn’t like free speech.”

Sean Hannity reports on Josh Hawley questioning protests on college campuses

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity took to X and wrote, “HAWLEY: "What I want to know is who’s funding these student groups. I hope the DOJ is investigating where the money is coming from. Are there terror groups who are part of these networks who are infiltrating our campuses?"

Hannity’s tweet featured an article from its official website titled, “HAWLEY ON HANNITY: DOJ Should Investigate Who's Behind Anti-Semitic College Protests.”

In the article, Hannity also posted a video of his conversation with Missouri Senator Josh Hawley.

Hannity began, “Let’s start with our colleges, our universities, we had a debate on this show last night, Senator. We had Cornel West and Alan Dershowitz debating this issue, Cornel West mostly agreeing with the Harvard groups, all 31 of them, on the issue of blaming Israel and Israel only, and said things needed to be more ‘nuanced.’”

He continued, “And I’m like, we’re talking about supporting terrorists. How is it that a prestigious university like Harvard could have students this, frankly, dumb and ignorant? Makes me want to send my kids to a state school any day over that institution.”

Hawley responded, “You know, and that same institution, Sean, as I recall, was quick to fly the flag of Ukraine over Harvard Yard, but now, when Israel is under attack, their terrorists are murdering children, cutting off the heads of babies, they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map.”

He declared, “Let’s be honest: They would kill every Jew in the world if they could.”

Hawley continued, “That’s what the terrorists want and to be silent in the face of that or to celebrate it as these crazy student groups are doing? What I want to know is who’s funding these student groups.”

“This is crazy stuff that we’re seeing on these campuses, and for these administrators to have their hand out and take federal money, taxpayer money, and (on) the same dime be silent or silently condone this kind of terrorism, it is just grotesque,” Hawley concluded.

Internet slams Josh Hawley after he questions college protests

Soon after Sean Hannity shared his conversation with Josh Hawley, the internet quickly slammed the Senator as one person wrote, “In other words, Josh doesn't like free speech.”

One more added, “It’s called free speech. I thought you liked that when you were whining about cancel culture,” and another called out Hawley saying, “Hawley, the seditious traitor, is saying what?”

A person simply mocked Hawley, “Sure saw the video of Hawley running for his life on January 6th! His people!”

Another wrote, “Fearmongering from a coward. Oh the irony,” and one more commented, “Oh, Hawley is angry again, or still, can't tell because he is always in the angry gear.”
