Leader Schumer Statement On Antisemitic Terror Attack In Boulder, Colorado

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after multiple people were injured in a targeted terror attack at a demonstration raising awareness for Israeli hostages being held in Gaza:

“Less than two weeks after the horrific antisemitic attack at the Capitol Jewish Museum in DC — and after two relentless years of surging antisemitic attacks across the country— the Jewish community is once again shattered by pain and heartbreak. 

“Tonight, a peaceful demonstration was targeted in a vile, antisemitic act of terror. Once again, Jews are left reeling from repeated acts of violence and terror.

“When antisemitism is allowed to fester, when it spreads unchecked, and when too many look the other way, history has shown us where it leads: to hatred, to violence, to terror.

“Tonight is Shavuot—a sacred holiday of learning, renewal, and unity. Thousands of Jews around the world will wake up to this horrific news, just as they did after October 7. For many, it’s been over 600 days of unrelenting fear and trauma.

“Antisemitism, plain and simple, has no place in America. I am praying for the victims’ recovery and am in touch with the FBI as we closely monitor the situation.”
