Christie insists antisemitism in US not a 'rise' but 'unmasking': 'It's been there'
Fox News
Republican presidential hopeful and former NJ Gov. Chris Christie said there's been an "unmasking" of antisemitism in the U.S. since the Israel-Hamas war.
"I think that what we're seeing in this country, Kristen, and with Iran, with the incredible unmasking of antisemitism, I don't want to say it's a rise. I think it's been there," Christie told host Kristen Welker. "And I think what we're seeing now, due to what's happening in Israel at the moment, is that unmasking of that, we're seeing it all over college campuses."

"We're seeing it on social media sites like X and TikTok and other social media sites. And it is horrific," he said. "I think the president, United States needs to be much stronger than he's been in speaking out against antisemitism in this country. This is an outrageous, outrageous type of hate that's being expressed. And we need to be speaking out against it no matter who does it, whether it's Elon Musk, whether it's professors on our college campuses or students that they are misleading or whether it's individuals who are speaking out in an antisemitic way on the streets of our cities. This is unacceptable. And the president has not been strong enough in this view and in this point."
