Congressman Sherman Statement on Colorado Attack against Jewish Gathering

June 2, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC - On June 1st, Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) issued the following statement in response to a man using makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device to injure eight people who were part of a march calling for the release of hostages in Gaza that was organized by a Jewish group: "Today in Boulder, Colorado, people gathered to call for the release of innocent hostages being held by Hamas. They were targeted in a horrific antisemitic terrorist attack.

Attempting to burn people alive simply because they seek the release of kidnap victims is disturbingly consistent with the ideology of Hamas and its supporters, even within the U.S." ### Issues : Combating Antisemitism
