Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen, one of eight Jewish senators in Congress, tells Haaretz that Americans have ‘a moral obligation to put a stop to this disturbing trend’ ■ Democratic lawmakers condemn violence at Capitol
WASHINGTON – Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen, one of the eight Jewish senators in Congress (not counting Senator-elect Jon Ossoff), told Haaretz that she was “horrified and disgusted by the antisemitic rhetoric and symbols” displayed during this week’s violence in Washington DC.
“The day began with a Member of Congress saying ‘Hitler was right on one thing,’ and ended with images circulating of a rioter wearing a ‘Camp Auschwitz’ shirt inside the United States Capitol,” the senator from Nevada said. “These manifestations of antisemitism pose a direct threat not only to America’s Jewish community, but to all Americans who value our democracy.”
