McCarthy: Democrats need to ‘do something’ about antisemitic remarks
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) Monday called on Democrats to “do something” about antisemitic remarks being made by members of their caucus, after Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) stirred up a firestorm for calling Israel a “racist state,” a comment she later walked back.
Asked about Jayapal’s comments — which were made during a progressive conference Saturday — McCarthy noted Democrats who have come under fire in the past for making antisemitic remarks, telling reporters “this isn’t the first person in the Democratic conference that has continued to make antisemitic comments.”
“We’ve watched what they have continually to do,” he continued. “There are a number of them over there. I think if the Democrats want to believe that they do not have a conference that continues to make antisemitic remarks, they need to do something about it.”
He specifically called on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N. Y.) to “prove” that Democrats are not antisemitic.
“I think this is a role for the leader, Hakeem, to prove that no, they’re not antisemitic,” McCarthy said. “And they cannot allow their members to continue to see what they have said in the past.”
