REP LIEU STATEMENT ON BOULDER ATTACK

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement after a Jewish group was attacked in Boulder, Colorado.

“What happened in Boulder this weekend was a disgusting act of violent antisemitism. Just weeks after two Israeli diplomats were killed leaving a Jewish museum in D.C., we see another horrific politically motivated attack, this time targeting a Jewish group peacefully advocating for the hostages held in Gaza. This kind of violence is deeply disturbing and wholly inexcusable. My thoughts are with the victims and the broader Boulder community reeling from this terrible event. My heart goes out to every Jewish person who feels less safe in our country. The scourge of antisemitism must be extinguished and we must always advocate for a peaceful, safe country for everyone.”

Congressman Lieu also spoke about the attack during this week's Democratic Caucus press conference. View the video here.
