During remarks on the Senate floor Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke about the incendiary attack in Boulder, Colorado on Sunday.
Transcript
00:00Mr. President, today, Jewish Americans and all Americans grieve in the aftermath of another
00:07anti-Semitic attack that took place yesterday in Boulder, Colorado. This time, it was an elderly
00:15group of people peacefully calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas, brutally attacked on
00:23the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which celebrates God giving the Torah to the Jewish people. This
00:31morning, I spoke with senior officials at the FBI and urged them to use the full extent of their
00:38power to investigate this heinous attack. These victims did nothing wrong. They aren't involved
00:46with the tragic conflict in the Middle East. It's reported that one of the victims was even a
00:51Holocaust survivor. After all, all they were doing was expressing a simple plea, bring the
01:01hostages home. And because of their Jewish identity, they were targeted by hate. When anti-Semitism
01:11is allowed to fester in more quarters of society, it historically leads to more terrorism and
01:19violence. What happened in Washington and in Boulder is exactly that. Assigning collective or hereditary
01:27blame to Jews for what is happening right now in the Middle East is blatantly anti-Semitic. And it is
01:35happening in too many corners of America today. Our prayers are with the victims of the attack and
01:42their families. And we thank the first responders who apprehended the suspect before things got even worse.
