The great-great-great grandson of former U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt has been caught participating in pro-Palestine protests at the prestigious Princeton University.
The New York Post has reported Quentin Roosevelt, 18, who is a freshman at Princeton University, is calling for his University to cut ties with Israel.
The Princeton freshman most recently posted on X, “We will not stop, we will not rest,” and featured a hand-drawn Palestinian flag.
His great-great-great grandfather, Teddy Roosevelt, is known for famously stating, “It seems to me that it is entirely proper to start a Zionist state around Jerusalem.”

Check out what the New York Post reported:
The great-great-great grandson of President Teddy Roosevelt appears to have traded the Rough Riders for Hamas and Hezbollah, as he vocally supports the anti-Israel tent encampments erupting at universities across the country.
Quentin Colon Roosevelt, 18, a freshman at Princeton University who also once served as Washington DC’s youngest elected official, is staunchly anti-Israel despite his famous ancestor’s support for a Jewish state.
Roosevelt wants the Ivy League university, where he serves on the student government, to “divest” from Israel and has vowed “we will not stop, we will not rest” in a recent post on X that included an image of a hand-drawn Palestinian flag.
The teen, who also worked to re-elect ‘Squad” member Summer Lee this spring, retweeted a post from the far left rep likening Israel’s war against Hamas to a “genocide.”
Roosevelt also accused Israel of committing “massacres in Gaza,” but does not appear to have condemned Hamas’ horrific Oct. 7 terrorist attacks which left at least 1,200 Israelis dead.
This morning, an article was published about me in the New York Post about my involvement in protests on campus. The article, like most others published by the Post on this issue, inaccurately portrays the peaceful, non-violent, student protests I have witnessed at Princeton. pic.twitter.com/fqAX63DFG8
