Last night, Democratic voters in Colorado's first Congressional District unseated a 30-year incumbent in favor of a candidate who refuses to characterize last year's anti-Semitic terrorist attack in Boulder an anti-Semitic terrorist attack. Melat Kiros unseated Diana DeGette by more than 7,000 votes.
Kiros' entire campaign focused on Israel. To give you an idea of how focused, Kiros minimized the Boulder terrorist attack:
I don't know what was in the heart of the perpetrator. All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed. I don't even know what the people that were at that protest believed, too, In fact, most of them were just there to ask that the people who were kidnapped during Oct. 7 be returned home to their families.
Nonsense.
Had the perpetrator saw fit to throw Molotov cocktails at African Americans, LGBTQ persons or Muslims, Kiros would not hesitate to declare what was in the perpetrator's heart. Kiros simply cannot bring herself to admit the obvious and explicitly condemn anti-Semitism even if it is a matter of public record that the perpetrator made anti-Semitic utterances as he tossed the Molotov cocktails.
Alas, the same now goes true for most of the Democratic Party and it is only going to get worse.
The more Jews are physically attacked and injured by those doing so in the name of freeing Palestine or ending Zionism the more Democrats will refuse to call out the anti-Semitism screaming in our faces.
