‘Don’t BUY Her BS’! Jewish Columbia Student DRAGS AOC for Pretending to SUDDENLY Care About Antisemitism

Casey watched the Marcus Freeman video and it looks like the other guy, New Prairie assistant coach Chris Fleeger, is a punk who was harassing a kid then filed a police report.

The child was reportedly afraid to tell anyone because Busfield was the director and he feared he would get mad at him.

It all pointed to a simple takeaway: the public is waking up faster than the establishment can spin, and 2026 is shaping up as the year when that gap finally matters.
