Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and GOP Rep. David Kustoff on Tuesday rolled out a bill to prevent anti-semitic hate crimes, after a wave of violent attacks against American Jews in the U.S. amid the conflict between Israel and Palestinians.
"May is designated as Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and recognize our community’s great contributions to the United States. Yet, we are instead witnessing a spike of brutal anti-Semitic harassment and assault across our cities," Kustoff told Fox News. "Now is the time for Members of Congress to stand up and show the world that these despicable and hateful attacks have no place in our country," he continued, adding that the bill "will help combat anti-Semitism in the U.S. and ensure the individuals who commit these violent attacks are prosecuted and held accountable for their actions." "As a proud member of the Jewish Community, and one of only two Jewish Republicans in Congress, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support and pass this crucial piece of legislation," Kustoff said.More Related News
