Congressman Ro Khanna visited Yale to stand up for academic freedom and rebuke J.D. Vance. Despite being a Yale alumnus, Khanna expressed disappointment over strict security measures limiting community access to his speech, arguing that such actions contradict principles of free speech. During his address, Khanna did not shy away from criticism, labeling Vance a "stain" on Yale's reputation and drawing parallels between Vance and historical strongmen. His appearance also served to bolster his political profile, hinting at potential presidential ambitions.
"I hate what the university is doing here, having people go through a line and preregister and not having the community coming out."
"Strongmen do not fear recessions or even failed wars as much as they fear the university."
