Rep. Steve Scalise said a government response to Saturday's Hanukkah attack should be quick and direct: “Anti-semitism is wrong'
Rep. Steve Scalise, discussing Saturday‘s attack on a Hanukkah celebration in New York state, said a government response should be quick and direct: “Anti-semitism is wrong.”
“Too often in Washington, you see people trying to figure out somebody's motives instead of just saying it's wrong. … Call it out for what it is,” The Louisiana Republican said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Anti-Semitism is wrong.”On Saturday night, a man stabbed and wounded five people at a rabbi’s home north of New York City. They had gathered to celebrate the seventh night of Hanukkah in Monsey, a town that has seen an influx of Orthodox Jews in recent decades.
Scalise has survived a shooting himself: He was nearly killed in 2017 by an anti-Republican gunman during a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va. He said Sunday that it’s law enforcement’s job to figure out who was behind the Hanukkah attack but everyone should stand up against and be alarmed about growing anti-Semitism in the country.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the attack "domestic terrorism" and endemic of “an American cancer on the body politic.” New York City Mayor Bill de BlasioWhile President Donald Trump has not made a statement, his daughter Ivanka: "The vicious attack of a rabbi in Monsey, NY last night was an act of pure evil. As we pray for the victims, may the candles of Chanukah burn bright through this darkness.
Several Hill lawmakers have also denounced the Saturday attack, commenting on the rise of anti-Semitic violence. Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff
