Black Democrats who attended Harvard and Candace Owens agree on one thing: Trump’s campus crackdown goes too far

It’s a rare moment in American politics when ultra-conservative personality Candace Owens and Democrats are on the opposing side of Donald Trump. The political firebrand publicly condemned the president’s crusade against Harvard University and other college campuses; Trump has threatened to rescind billions in federal grants if the institution did not agree to a list of demands that Harvard described as going “beyond the power of the federal government.” As Owens put it, Trump’s battle with Harvard–which has escalated to […]
