House Speaker Mike Johnson called on Columbia University’s President to resign Wednesday during a tense news conference where the crowd repeatedly interrupted the speaker and at times loudly booed him and other GOP lawmakers who were with him as they stood at the microphones.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and other House Republicans called for Columbia University President Minouche Shafik to resign amid pro-Palestinian protests taking place on the campus. He was joined by House Education Committee Chair Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and some members of the New York congressional delegation at the school in New York City.
