Speaker Johnson Releases Statement Condemning Acts of Antisemitism

WASHINGTON — On Thursday, Speaker Johnson released the following statement in the wake of the heinous display of antisemitism outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters late Wednesday evening.

“Last night, pro-Hamas protesters outside the U.S. Capitol violently attacked the Democratic National Committee headquarters. I condemn this criminal activity, which injured six brave Capitol Police officers, in the strongest terms. As Americans, we must unite with one voice in steadfast support of our ally Israel.

I want to thank the officers with the U.S. Capitol Police who worked quickly to evacuate members, staff and civilians and arrest those engaged in violence. Congress will not be intimidated by this vile display of anti-Semitism.”
