He said that carried a “critical responsibility” for Harvard to ensure that its intellectual property derived from federal funding is used to maximize benefits to the American people.

Can we not even joke about consistency of fascists opinions?

They know how stupid they look, yet nobody is stopping them. They will not even slow down, the bullshit will only grow bolder.
