  • Fetterman was awarded at commencement for being a 'Hero of Israel'

  • He drew gasps from the crowd when he removed his Harvard hood

 

Sen. John Fetterman disavowed himself on Wednesday from his alma mater Harvard in protest of what he says is the university's 'inability to stand up for the Jewish community' by removing his crimson hood at a commencement ceremony.

 

The Pennsylvania senator is one of Israel's biggest defenders in Democratic circles. He was awarded at Yeshiva University's commencement with a 'Presidential Medallion' for being a 'Hero of Israel.'

 

'I was reflecting when was my last graduation and that was literally a quarter century ago, 25 years ago,' he told a crowd of graduates. 'I was graduating from Harvard University but today I have been profoundly disappointed the way Harvard's inability to stand up for the Jewish community.'

 

'For me personally I do not fundamentally believe it is right for me to wear this today,' he added as he removed his crimson hood. The crowd audibly gasped before breaking into a standing ovation.

 

Fetterman graduated from Harvard's Kennedy School with a Master's of Public Policy in 1999.

Harvey Weinstein is facing the possibility of a new indictment as the Manhattan’s District Attorney’s Office has received complaints from women who were not ready to speak out in 2020.

 

The disgraced film producer, 72, dressed in a navy suit, white shirt and blue tie, appeared in New York Supreme Criminal Court on Wednesday where he was brought out in a wheelchair and without handcuffs.

 

Prosecutors told the court he could face a new indictment as it is ‘actively investigating’ more claims of sexual assault against Weinstein and will be in a position to clarify at the end of June. ‘Some people who were not ready to speak out in 2020 now appear to do so in 2024,’ Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told the court.

 

‘We’ll speak to advisors as to what falls within the statute of limitations and we will do everything in our power to make sure every survivor's identity is protected.’

 

Judge Curtis Farber ordered him to return to court on July 9 and remanded him in jail without bail.
