Harvard University has dug in by refusing to fire its toxic president Claudine Gay despite the school’s reported antisemitism, bigotry against white people, and a scandal involving plagiarism, and she reportedly has an influential defender.
According to a report by Jewish Insider, none other than former President Barack Obama was the hidden hand working behind the scenes to shore up support for the embattled university leader who has caused potentially irreparable damage to the reputation of the prestigious Ivy League institution of higher learning.
Obama, who graduated from Harvard’s law school, reportedly privately lobbied in support of Gay after her disastrous congressional testimony earlier this month when she waffled on whether calls for the genocide of Jews were a violation of the school’s code of conduct, leading to outrage and demands for her firing.

The outlet reported that, according to a source, Obama, “had privately lobbied on Gay’s behalf as she faced pressure to resign in the wake of her disastrous appearance before the congressional hearing on antisemitism.”
“It sounded like people were being asked to close ranks to keep the broader administration stable — including its composition,” said the source “who was informed of Obama’s outreach and asked to speak anonymously to discuss a confidential matter,” according to Jewish Insider.
Pressure is intensifying on Harvard to jettison its controversial leader who during her tenure at the helm at the Cambridge, Mass. university has shifted the focus of the “a**shole factory” away from academic excellence and the grooming of America’s future leaders to creating warriors for the “woke” cultural revolution that has been unleashed against Western civilization and the “colonizers” – which is a term used to cloak the overt hatred of white folks and Jews who are to be punished.
One influential member of the university’s highest governing body, the Harvard Corporation, has connections to the former president with senior fellow Penny Pritzker having served in Obama’s administration as his commerce secretary. The billionaire businesswoman is a member of the uber-wealthy Chicago family and the sister of Illinois’ Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker.
Earlier this month, the body reaffirmed its support of Gay despite the school’s hemorrhaging of credibility with the very word Harvard now being associated with antisemitism and intolerance.

“As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay’s continued leadership of Harvard University. Our extensive deliberations affirm our confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing,” the governing body said in a statement.
“In this tumultuous and difficult time, we unanimously stand in support of President Gay. At Harvard, we champion open discourse and academic freedom, and we are united in our strong belief that calls for violence against our students and disruptions of the classroom experience will not be tolerated. Harvard’s mission is advancing knowledge, research, and discovery that will help address deep societal issues and promote constructive discourse, and we are confident that President Gay will lead Harvard forward toward accomplishing this vital work,” the statement read.
