Washington, D.C. - Today, following Israeli President Isaac Herzog's address to a joint session of Congress and yesterday's vote on a resolution supporting Israel and condemning anti-Semitism, Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach (MN-07), Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08), Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01), and Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) issued the following statement:
“We strongly condemn anti-Semitism in all its forms, which is why we proudly voted to affirm our relationship with Israel and reject the absurd notion that Israel is a racist state. Despite recent comments made by some in our delegation, we Minnesota Republicans are united in standing with Israel and committed to doing everything possible to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship.”
