Instead, she said she thought any reference to genocide was &#8220;abhorrent.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> The next day, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill issued her own video apology to X, formerly Twitter. Magill claimed she was &#8220;focused on our university&#8217;s long-standing policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution&#8221; during her testimony and should have emphasized that calls for genocide &#8220;would&#8221; be considered bullying or harassment. <\/p>\n<p>Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt later compared the clip to a &#8220;hostage video&#8221; and went on to say his organization has &#8220;lost confidence with&#8221; Magill and Gay. <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) called on Gay to resign from Harvard over her testimony. Gay has been the head of the Ivy League university since July. <\/p>\n<p>Consequences have already set in for Harvard as it has been accused of allowing antisemitism in on-campus protests. Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife, Batia, have stepped down from Harvard\u00a0University&#8217;s executive board after dozens of student groups signed a letter that said they \u201chold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence\u201d from Hamas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvard University President Claudine Gay issued an apology to the campus newspaper Thursday following her congressional testimony. \u201cI am sorry.
