WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01) released the following statement after the House passed a partisan resolution, H.Res. 488, in response to the attack on an event for Israeli hostages in Boulder, CO.
"I unequivocally condemn the attack in Boulder and the alarming rise in antisemitism. However, I could not support tonight's resolution that exploits this incident to demonize migrants, celebrate ICE, and ignore the real concerns of Jewish Americans.
"It's a shame the Republican majority would politicize this attack. This moment deserves better than political point-scoring.
"I cosponsored a bipartisan resolution led by my colleague, Rep. Joe Neguse (CO-02), to condemn the attack. In keeping with House tradition, we should consider Rep. Neguse's resolution, instead of the partisan resolution considered today, as this event occurred in his district."
