Following weeks of anti-Israel protests on college campuses, two Democratic congressmen called on President Biden to denounce the left wing of his party while confronting the growth of antisemitism in the United States.
“He should tell people in America that Auschwitz was not that long ago. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., told Kasie Hunt on Tuesday morning, “That pluralism and tolerance are part of America’s DNA, and I hope in doing so that he explicitly refutes the left of his party for their role in fomenting this antisemitism.”
“That will be a mark of leadership,” he continued, “that he is willing to say that kind of hate is unacceptable when it occurs within, as well as after Charlottesville, as he did.”
