“If this was against any other people, or they were blocking Black students or gay students or women from entering campus, this would be shut down. This would’ve been immediately shut down. As it should be,” he continued.

“I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems very strangely coordinated, to a degree. So it’s not just about passions about injustices. It’s a coordinated movement that we’ve seen before,” Gelman said.
