Rubio Calls on Americans to Stand up to Ivy League Schools

Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) has released an advertisement, condemning Ivy League school presidents over their controversial statements. The statements in question were provided during a congressional hearing on antisemitism earlier this month. In response to the statement, Senator Rubio blames cultural Marxism and calls on Americans to stand up to Ivy League schools.

The advertisement shows footage of the hearing wherein the Ivy League presidents were asked if calling for the genocide of Jewish people is against their school’s code of conduct.

The presidents involved in the hearing answered that it all depended on the “context.”

As well, the advertisement couples the footage from the hearing with segments of a speech given by Senator Rubio wherein he defines Marxism and highlights the dangers of the political ideology.

“Marxism is a power structure, and what Marxism basically is about is the following: we need to control people. People need to be controlled, and they need to be controlled by a handful of people that are smarter, better, or more moral in some ways because if you don’t control people, they’ll do things like be unequal to each other,” Senator Rubio explained.

He goes on to comment that “America was the one place on Earth where people, no matter where they started out, were able to go as far as their talent and their work will take them, and that honestly is the glue that has held us together as a nation. It is our binding common identity, and it’s the number one thing that this modern Marxism attacks.”

Senator Rubio captioned the video with “cultural Marxism broke the moral compass of elite education,” and the video calls on Americans to “stand up to the Ivys.”

The response from the Ivy League presidents drew widespread criticism, and it resulted in University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigning from her position.
