Grassley Condemns Antisemitic Attack in Boulder, Colorado

Floor Remarks by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa Senate President Pro Tempore “Boulder, Colorado Antisemitic Incident” Monday, June 2, 2025 VIDEO I’m here to draw attention and to condemn another outrageous attack that was aimed at the Jewish community here in the United States, specifically Boulder, Colorado. Yesterday, a deranged individual took a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to attack individuals marching for the release of Israeli hostages held by [the] terrorist group, Hamas. This deranged individual allegedly yelled the words, “Free Palestine.” He yelled this during the attack. Reporting suggests that the individual may have overstayed his visa that the Biden administration gave him, and was then in the country illegally. This is the third high-profile attack on the Jewish community in the last two months. This sort of hate is completely unacceptable in our society and, of course, we all know it needs to stop. I commend FBI Director Patel for quickly responding and launching a full investigation into this targeted attack. I trust that the FBI and law enforcement will do their job and swiftly find justice for these victims. -30-
