'Hitler Was Spot-On': Jewish Lawmakers Reveal Disturbing Antisemitic Threats They've Received
Axios congressional correspondent Andrew Solender documented the ongoing surge of antisemitism in the U.S. in a harrowing Monday report detailing the daily antisemitic vitriol Jewish members of Congress face.
Solender “reviewed dozens of voicemails, letters, and emails” for his deep dive report into the attacks launched at Jewish members of Congress from both parties, and he spoke to multiple members about their experiences.
In one example, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) received a letter that Axios described as “profane” that declared, “Hitler was spot-on, 100% right.” In another, Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) received a voicemail saying, “I don’t like Jewish people, and the congressman should just go die.”
Last Friday, TMZ published audio of voicemails sent to Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), which included antisemitic declarations like, “The U.S. government needs to kill Jews. You kill these f*cking nasty Jews. Israel is an abomination; it’s fake. Jews from Europe are fake Jews. These are Ashkenazi, Satanic, fake Jews. Kill every single f*cking Zionist scumbag.”
