A pair of leftist protesters were asked what they were protesting against during an anti-Israel demonstration at New York University (NYU) but admitted that they had no idea.
A video of the admission has gone viral on social media after it was shared by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
In the video, a young woman at Monday night’s NYU protest struggles to answer when asked what the “goal” of the demonstration was.
“I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops — I honestly don’t know all of what NYU is doing,” she tells the interviewer.
“I really don’t know,” she admits.
“I’m pretty sure they are…”
She then asks her friend for help in explaining.
“Do you know what NYU is doing?” she asks.
They both admit they have no idea.
“I wish I was more educated,” the friend, who is wearing a Covid mask outdoors, admits.
“I’m not [educated] either,” the first woman adds.
WATCH:
The interview was an excerpt from Giuliani’s livestream show, “America’s Mayor Live.”
Political strategist Ted Goodman, who produces the former NYC mayor’s show, said his team captured the video while interviewing protesters outside NYU’s campus in lower Manhattan on Monday evening.
In a longer version of the clip, the protester identifies herself as a Fordham University student who traveled to Columbia and NYU to support the protests.
In a statement about the video, Giuliani said:
“The young woman in this video is the perfect example of the modern American Left and their indoctrination of young people.
“They don’t know what they’re doing and are serving as tools to something much more sinister.
“She’s just one of many examples of the deterioration of our education system here in America.”
Protests were still being held on the NYU campus on Wednesday after students staged a walkout the day before.
On Monday night, over 100 protesters were arrested after a night of violence.
On Wednesday, pro-Hamas agitators at the school demanded an “intifada revolution.”
The “protesters” held up pictures of Islamic Jihad terrorist Yacoub Qadri.
