Actress Cynthia Nixon pitched a fit on X, taking aim at Rep. Jerrold Nadler for not supporting anti-Israel activists protesting on college campuses, nonsensically comparing that to the idea of white students protesting universities profiting off slavery.
Radical activists eat their own when desperate enough. In this case, it appears that Nixon threw the race card because it was all she could think of to strike back at Nadler who is a dedicated leftist himself.
“I was a student at @Columbia in 1968 when students occupied Hamilton Hall. My classmates, who were draft age and deeply concerned about Vietnam, had a real and personal stake in the protests. And even then, I felt the occupation of campus buildings was wrong—because it violated the civil liberties of the students and faculty who wanted to attend classes or take exams,” Nadler wrote on X.
That incensed Nixon who shot back with a warped attack, “If white students had protested universities profiting off slavery, would that have been justified? Or is protest only ok if done in self-interest? Surely that’s not the lesson here—nor that their civil rights should be abused by violent arrest—something your words help excuse.”

For the left, when activists get involved in a cause their actions seem to always lead to escalating extremism and the justification of it. That’s certainly the case with the increasingly violent protests that are taking place across the nation at college campuses and Nixon is all for it evidently. Her posts on X blame the police for arresting the students, not the actions of the protesters which are illegal.
The actress appears to be rabidly anti-Israel as well.
How many US supplied arms were used to kill women, children, doctors, journalists, humanitarian aid workers—tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza? It’s time to #StopSendingArms.

And when all else fails, blame the Jews for standing up for themselves.
None of this is about student safety, quite the opposite. https://t.co/bDcuWzM8Cd

Users on X aren’t buying Nixon’s scripted outrage that justifies the violent protests while at the same time infringes on the rights of others:
The cause that the protesters claim to support is irrelevant. We allow protests and freedom of speech.
We do not allow trespassing, destroying property, preventing people from going to class, etc.

If they had remained peaceful, not setup blockades, not put up tents, pretty much had they simply protested without impacting student life. They would still be there. But they screwed that up big time.

The protests you support also come at the expense of the students you marginalize.

Let me repeat myself:
“It’s the occupation of public property that is the problem. Not their speech, or mine, or even yours. And lets not forget the vandalism. Anyone participating should be fired/expelled. Period.”… and I’ll add ARRESTED.

Hey Cynthia Nixon/@CynthiaNixon: Oh, how fascinating! You’re standing up for students who are cheering on Hamas, an organization known for its warm and fuzzy approach to LGBTQ+ rights. I mean, who needs rainbows when you can have a one-way ticket to torture and demise, right? But…

Protest any cause you want. That’s your right as an American.
But you have no right to occupy buildings or prevent others from using the campus. That’s the lesson here. https://t.co/tnNUo2rLX6

These are not even remotely similar comparisons.
