Pennsylvania Senators Denounce Anti-Semitism After Colorado Attack

‘We’ve lost the argument in parts of my party,’ Sen. John Fetterman said. ‘And for me, that moral clarity, it’s really firmly [with] Israel.’

The two U.S. senators from Pennsylvania—John Fetterman, a Democrat, and Dave McCormick, a Republican—in a joint appearance on June 2 condemned anti-Semitism in the United States in the wake of two high-profile attacks targeting Jews in the country. 

The comments came a day after an attack at a Jewish rally in Boulder, Colorado, that left eight people injured. Witnesses said that during the incident the attacker yelled “Free Palestine,” the same slogan used by a shooter who killed two Israeli staffers outside a museum in Washington on May 21.
