McCain blasts Columbia for letting Ahmadinejad speak

[Purveyor]

Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) harshly criticized Columbia University on Thursday for allowing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak on its campus.

“A man who is directing the maiming and killing of Americans troops should not be given an invitation to speak at an American university,” McCain said.

The university is scheduled to host Ahmadinejad Monday. McCain’s campaign noted that the senator gave the commencement address there in 2006.

McCain joined the rest of the Republican field in attacking the Iranian president for a number of trips he is attempting to make while visiting the United Nations later this month.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani were quick to release harsh denunciations of Ahmadinejad’s request to visit ground zero while in New York.
