•    "I voted for today's resolution condemning the antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado last week notwithstanding my profound disappointment that it failed to condemn antisemitism itself. Instead of putting forward a resolution that focused solely on denouncing the attack and antisemitism out of hand – which I believe would have received almost unanimous support - Republicans needlessly undermined bipartisan support for this legislation by trying to use it to score political points on immigration and law enforcement. This conduct is just the latest example of Republicans using issues related to antisemitism and the Jewish community as a partisan 'gotcha' effort to divide Democrats. I wanted to reassure Jews living in fear and trauma after the Boulder attack and the recent spike in antisemitism since October 7 that I stand with them, but this bill could and should have done more to denounce antisemitism. I urge my colleagues across the aisle to put politics aside and stand united with us to remove the cancer of antisemitism from our world. Antisemitism threatens not just Jews but democracy itself."

•    "H.Res. 488 and H.Res. 481 are Republican-led attempts to cynically politicize tragic acts of violence—like the recent horrific attack in Boulder—to demonize immigrant communities, praise ICE, and pave the path for the further repression of our constitutional rights to free speech and protest in support of Palestinian lives and human rights. Violence has no place in our communities. My heart goes out to all of the victims and their loved ones. Exploiting these tragedies for political motivations is wrong. At the same time, Congress has failed to even once denounce the rise in anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim hate crimes, particularly the murder of Wadea al-Fayoume and the shooting of Hisham Awartani, which has left him paralyzed from the chest down. I stand firmly against antisemitism. And I stand firmly in support of a Free Palestine. These values are not contradictory. Our fight against antisemitism is connected to our fight against Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, white nationalism, and oppression in all forms. We must continue to speak out for a world free from dehumanization and violence." Source: Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Democrat, Michigan, District 12)

•    "I unequivocally condemn the attack in Boulder and the alarming rise in antisemitism. However, I could not support tonight’s resolution that exploits this incident to demonize migrants, celebrate ICE, and ignore the real concerns of Jewish Americans. It’s a shame the Republican majority would politicize this attack. This moment deserves better than political point-scoring. I cosponsored a bipartisan resolution led by my colleague, Rep. Joe Neguse (CO-02), to condemn the attack. In keeping with House tradition, we should consider Rep. Neguse’s resolution, instead of the partisan resolution considered today, as this event occurred in his district." Source: Rep. Diana DeGette (Democrat, Colorado, District 1)
