Lauren Boebert Suggests Effort To Fight Antisemitism Is An Attack On Conservatives

President Joe Biden announced a new plan on Thursday to fight hate, bias and violence against Jewish people and combat an alarming rise in antisemitism — and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is taking it very personally.

The president’s plan outlines more than 100 steps the administration and its partners can take to combat antisemitism, according to The Associated Press.  Biden said it sends a “clear and forceful message” that “in America, evil will not win, hate will not prevail” and “the venom and violence of antisemitism will not be the story of our time.”

Another appreciated that the Colorado Republican seemed to admit that “conservatives are spreading hate and are antisemitic.”

Others chimed in.
