Josh Marshall What is the factual problem with that tweet?

Jeet Heer We could start with federalism, the legal status of a private university and the general comedy of saying that Joe Biden is an authoritarian of any measure let alone equivalent to Donald Trump. How’s that?

Josh Marshall All the reporting about university administration decisions emphasizes that they feel political pressure to crack down on students: that pressure has come from Biden (who has made many inflammatory statements) & some (not all) Dems in congress. Escalation is a choice.

Jeet Heer Can you point me to any real reporting that says the Columbia admin feels pressure from the White House to crackdown on student protests? Pretty universally the reporting points to the role of donors, which is I think accurate.
