Pete King Tells Newsmax: College Protests Are Completely Unjustifiable

Former Rep. Pete King described the pro-Palestinian demonstrations and disruptions at universities as “absolutely indefensible” and “disgraceful” during an interview on Newsmax Sunday.

Appearing on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” with former Rep. Jack Kingston, the New York Republican criticized the demonstrations, stating they are clearly orchestrated and compared them to pro-German or pro-Japanese demonstrations during World War II.

King also expressed disappointment in local elected officials for not intervening to stop the protests, calling out the individuals involved for their anti-American sentiments and criticizing university administrators for allowing the situation to escalate.

In contrast, Kingston commended the University of Florida for setting guidelines for protesters, emphasizing the importance of peaceful demonstrations and respect for rules and boundaries.

The discussion also touched on the upcoming presidential race, with both King and Kingston highlighting former President Donald Trump’s popularity in New York City and his appeal to Hispanic-American and union voters.
