Controversy Erupts Over Biden's Plan to Combat Antisemitism and Target Conservatives.
TL;DR
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) dismissed President Biden's national strategy for combating antisemitism as an attack on conservatives. Boebert's comments were criticized by detractors who accused her of conflating a campaign against antisemitism with an assault on the right. Biden's plan outlines steps that Congress, state and local governments, tech companies, faith leaders, and others can take to combat antisemitism. The Anti-Defamation League counted 3,697 antisemitic incidents last year, a 36 percent increase from the previous year and the highest figure since it began keeping records in 1979.
