Johnson, R-La., said Omar and other far-left Democrats are saying "exactly the wrong thing" as Jewish students at the Ivy League school have expressed fears for their safety amid anti-Israel demonstrations.
Speaker Mike Johnson is set to visit Columbia University on Wednesday amid pro-Palestinian protests at the university and colleges across the country.
