"I support all Jews in Israel. Thank you very much. They are our best friend, and Christians are in their fight with them. I support them 100%, and it says a lot about the folks walking out of here, when I’m talking about protecting Jews and religion.”

"Zelensky wasn’t president in 2014, so how is he going to protect (inaudible)"
UPSOUND (English) man:
"Excuse me, excuse me, thank you for your comment"
SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Nancy Mace, (R) South Carolina:

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Nancy Mace, (R) South Carolina:
"We don’t like the anti-Semitism on their campus, well, they shouldn’t be getting the federal funding. The president of Harvard I think just last week put out a statement saying that the federal government shouldn’t tell colleges what to teach. Well, if you don’t want the federal government telling you what to teach, then you don’t have to take a federal government paycheck. So, you know, anti-Semitism on campus is discrimination. And I hope that the president will use the power of the purse, everything in his power, and I hope that Congress follows suit, both chambers, the House and the Senate, to make sure – these schools that are raising lunatics."

"We have greatly funded the war in Ukraine, Europe has done so as well, but you got to have peace because my biggest fear if we don’t get peace soon that we will have American troops on the ground and I absolutely do not want that."

"I might get them out of here now and never come back. That is my position on illegal aliens here in this country. I want them out, out, out. Under President Obama, under President Bush, President Biden – those presidents mass deported illegal aliens. They mass deported illegal aliens and only because Donald Trump is president is it now a problem for activist judges."

STORYLINE:
Republican Rep. Nancy Mace faced criticism over the legal wrangling concerning universities and allegations of antisemitism during a town hall at a private, gated island community in her coastal South Carolina district.
The crowd of several hundred, mostly gray-haired attendees on Dataw Island was primarily friendly, with a moderator asking pre-screened questions of Mace on stage.
A small group of attendees did walk out after Mace talked about Jewish college students being mistreated by campus protesters, an issue that has become a flashpoint in the Trump administration’s feud with institutions of higher learning.
That includes Harvard University, which this week filed suit to halt a federal freeze on more than $2.2 billion in grants after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration’s demands, which include limiting activism on campus.
The administration has argued universities allowed antisemitism to go unchecked at campus protests against Israel’s war in Gaza
