Lauren Boebert says fighting 'hate and antisemitism' is code for going after conservatives

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said on Thursday that the Biden administration's vow to "fight hate" and antisemitism equated to a promise that they are "going after" conservatives.

On Thursday, Boebert posted a video from Disclose.tv, which showed President Joe Biden (D) talking about his plan to use "collective action to fight hate." Under the plan, he said, government agencies will take action against antisemitism when they see it.

Snip

Boebert shared the video, with an interesting twist. She interpreted the attack on hate an antisemitism as an attack on her own personal political beliefs.

"When they say stuff like this, they mean they want to go after conservatives," Boebert wrote. "Their tactics are straight out of the USSR's playbook."

[elleng]

5. DUMBer by the day.

[BigMin28]

6. Only those conservatives

that are racist and antisemitic. If they are neither of those things, they have nothing to worry about. Am I right?

[roamer65]

7. She finally leaks the truth.

That’s our Bobo.

[Johonny]

8. That pretty much says it all

[Docreed2003]

9. So Lauren, quick sidebar...

Maybe, just maybe, you need to reconsider that statement. I mean if you're saying that conservatives are offended when the opposition speaks out against "hate" and "antisemitism"...you're kinda implying that there is a place for those things in the conservative realm. Just saying.

That being said...MAKE THEIR ASSES OWN THIS SHIT!! One of their chosen nut bags says it's so, make them deny it on every interview and press conference!

10. If the cap fits...

Wear it!

[onecaliberal]

[usonian]

14. There is no USSR, but its remnant LOVES hate and antisemitism.

Her boss agrees.

[wnylib]

16. Russia has traded Communist authoritarianism for

fascist authoritarianism. But I suspect that's too much for Bang Bang to comprehend.

[NowISeetheLight]

15. Absolutely

Well she is uneducated...

[Hekate]

17. And her point is?

[NotVeryImportant]

18. It's been said that white supremacy is so embedded in America that

to attack white supremacy is seen as an attack on America itself.

This is where the Bobo-set is at, and she admits it.

[Initech]

20. Saying the quiet part out loud, are we?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. This is an admission the conservatives are hate mongers and antisemites

[no_hypocrisy]

22. What, as opposed to silence and assent?

FACT SHEET: Biden-⁠Harris Administration Releases First-Ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism
HOME
BRIEFING ROOM
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Administration announces over 100 new actions and over 100 calls to action to combat antisemitism, including new actions to counter antisemitism on college campuses and online; whole-of-society strategy includes new stakeholder commitments.

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is releasing the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. This strategy includes over 100 new actions the Administration will take to raise awareness of antisemitism and its threat to American democracy, protect Jewish communities, reverse the normalization of antisemitism, and build cross-community solidarity.

President Biden decided to run for President after what we all saw in Charlottesville in 2017, when Neo-Nazis marched from the shadows spewing the same antisemitic bile that was heard in Europe in the 1930s. That is why he has prioritized action to counter antisemitism and hate of all kinds.

The United States has recently experienced an alarming increase in antisemitic incidents, among other acts of hatred. American Jews account for 2.4% of the U.S. population, but they are the victims of 63% of reported religiously motivated hate crimes, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

While antisemitic incidents most directly and intensely affect the Jewish community, antisemitism threatens all of us. Antisemitic conspiracy theories fuel other forms of hatred, discrimination, and bias—including discrimination against other religious minorities, racism, sexism, and anti-LGBTQI+ hate. Antisemitism seeks to divide Americans from one another, erodes trust in government and nongovernmental institutions, and undermines our democracy.

That is why, in December, President Biden established the Interagency Policy Committee on Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Related Forms of Bias and Discrimination, led by the White House Domestic Policy Council and National Security Council. As its first order of business, President Biden tasked this group with producing the first-ever U.S. national strategy to counter antisemitism in the United States.

This national strategy sets forth a whole-of-society plan that both meets this moment of escalating hatred and lays the foundation for reducing antisemitism over time. Informed by input from over 1,000 stakeholders from every sector of American society, it outlines over 100 new actions that Executive Branch agencies have committed to take in order to counter antisemitism—all of which will be completed within a year. The strategy also calls on Congress to enact legislation that would help counter antisemitism and urges every sector of society to mobilize against this age-old hatred, including state and local governments, civil society, schools and academic institutions, the tech sector, businesses, and diverse religious communities.

To support the whole-of-society call to action, today the Biden-Harris Administration also announced commitments to counter antisemitism and build cross-community solidarity by organizations across the private sector, civil society, religious and multi-faith communities, and higher education. Today’s announcements include commitments from the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, Asian American Foundation, Black Jewish Entertainment Alliance, College of William & Mary, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Foundation to Combat Antisemitism alongside six professional sports leagues, Interfaith Alliance, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, National Action Network, National Basketball Players Association, National Urban League, Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab at American University, Recording Academy, Religious Freedom & Business Foundation, Sikh Coalition, Southern Poverty Law Center, and UnidosUS. The Administration calls on additional organizations to join this existing group in establishing their own impactful initiatives to counter antisemitism.
