‘Completely shambolic performance’: Douglas Murray slams Claudine Gay

Author Douglas Murray says former Harvard president Claudine Gay delivered a “completely shambolic” performance at a congressional hearing on anti-Semitism. “Reaction to the resignation of the (former) president of Harvard Claudine Gay has been predictably divided,” Mr Murray said. “For some, the university’s first black head deserved to lose her job after accusations of plagiarism and a completely shambolic performance at a congressional hearing on anti-Semitism last month.” The former president resigned following public outrage over her testimony on anti-Semitism. Ms Gay was asked, "At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment – yes or no?" Ms Gay responded with, "It can be, depending on the context". “Amazing – all depends on the context apparently,” Mr Murray said. “Anyway, some people are ignoring that and are claiming there is actually a sinister racial agenda in this sacking.” Mr Murray was joined by author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali to discuss the controversial issue.
