On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is Jewish, gave a speech about the rise of antisemitism in America following the October 7 terrorist attack that Hamas perpetrated against Israel. During his speech, Schumer expressed a willingness to call out fellow leftists for their antisemitism, as our sister site of Twitchy also highlighted.

Not far into his remarks, Schumer warned about "the normalization and exacerbation of this rise in hate," which he said "is the danger many Jewish people fear most." He also added that "I want to suggest how and why I hope that all Americans of goodwill can come together and do a better job of condemning such views and behavior."
