I have actually agreed with Glenn about Cornell West being a thoughtful leftie with whom I disagree but also respect. I guess until now, that is. I have to say this from him is over a line I do not think any amount of erudition or good cheer can overcome. Me and Cornell part ways on what he says here about the long overdue firing of Claudine Gay:
“The same figures and forces enabling the ethnic cleansing and genocidal attacks on Palestinians in Gaza—Ackman, Blum, Summers and others—push out the first Black woman president of Harvard!”
