Columbia grad’s mic gets cut off during anti-Israel rant

A Columbia University student’s microphone was apparently cut off shortly after she began ranting in an anti-Israel commencement speech.

Saham David Ahmed Ali stormed into the Ivy League school on Tuesday as he addressed the Mailman School of Public Health’s graduation ceremony as the class speaker.

The video shows the moment a student’s microphone suddenly started malfunctioning, en route to breaking Colombia’s silence on the ongoing war in Gaza.

The crowd began chanting “Let her talk” as the microphone went out several more times in the next few seconds.
