Moron NYC lawmakers seek to limit funds to Columbia over Iran president speech
Posted by: Christopher in Asides, PoliticiansLegislatures May Act on Columbia — Silver Warns of Impact on State Aid
In an interview with The New York Sun, the speaker of the Assembly, Sheldon Silver, said lawmakers, outraged over Columbia’s insistence on allowing the Iranian president to speak at its World Leaders Forum, would consider reducing capital aid and other financial assistance to the school.
In other words, these republican assholes are upset because the president of Columbia university didn’t bow to public pressure and prevent the speech. So now they’re going to attempt to withhold funds in retaliation.
What a bunch of fucking idiots.
