Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

I am horrified by the deadly act of antisemitic violence at an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. As we await additional details, it is clear that too many of our Jewish brothers and sisters legitimately fear for their safety in this country simply as a result of their faith. Antisemitism has no place in our nation, and its rise must be urgently crushed by people of goodwill across America and throughout the world. We strongly support the loved ones of the Israeli embassy staff murdered, and our prayers are with the victims and all those affected by this tragic attack. America will stand firmly with the Jewish community during this great hour of need.
