Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) continued her takedown of Haverford College President Wendy Raymond on Thursday, whom she accused of hiding behind scripted remarks at a congressional hearing on antisemitism a day earlier.
It marked the second straight day Stefanik, a member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, publicly rebuked Raymond after the college leader appeared on Capitol Hill to answer questions surrounding campus antisemitism.
"It is deeply disturbing the president of Haverford, who leads an institution of higher education, arrived at a hearing on antisemitism armed with a flashcard instead of conviction,” Stefanik wrote Thursday on X. “Nobody should need notes to remember that evil calls for genocide are ‘abhorrent.'”

On Wednesday, after questioning Raymond during a tense committee hearing, Stefanik took to her social media account to slam her leadership.
“The president of Haverford showed up to a congressional hearing on antisemitism with flashcards of pre-written answers,” the MAGA lawmaker told her followers. “Not convictions. Not moral clarity. Flashcards.”
She added: “This is what higher ed leadership looks like now—scripted, spineless, and coached to the bone.”
Stefanik last year played a key role in grilling the presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT over their handling of antisemitism on their respective campuses.
