Congress, while heavily criticized, was not incorrect.

I think the problem with her answers to Rep. Stefanik's questions regarding whether calling for genocide of Jews violated Harvard's conduct policies wasn't that the response itself is wrong - it really isn't - it's that nobody believes that Harvard would need "context" before punishing similar statements made about other groups on campus (and rightly so - nobody should believe Harvard would need context for other calls for genocide).

Another thing to keep in mind is that the plagiarism allegations were already percolating (and I think under investigation by the Harvard Corporation) *before* her Congressional testimony, I think as soon as late October.
