Extremely upset to know that someone from the group in AZ calling my office to yell about the ”stolen election” would call my assistant the N-word. He's a young black man who works hard to help my constituents. I will NOT allow anyone to disrespect him. I am done being nice!
You don’t see Jewish students harassing pro-Palestinian students. You do not see Jewish students committing assault or battery in the name of freedom. You don’t see Jewish students wishing death or celebrating the murder of Palestinians. WE DONT DO THAT! HUGE Difference between
I will not be ashamed or scared to wear my מלכה necklace in public. I had a lovely barista come up to me and tell me, “she just wanted me to know that my necklace was beautiful” she also wanted to hug me— I may not know her, but that warmed my heart. THANK YOU💙

Stop talking to me about a two-state solution (something I have always advocated for), and stop telling me I must call for a ceasefire. If you can’t acknowledge that Hamas is ISIS, condemn them for the Simchat Torah massacre, or believe Israel has every damn right to defend

Dear random guy following me out of my neighborhood breakfast spot to shout Free Palestine at me please know it is not cute or funny. That's not going to do anything other than make you look absolutely idiotic and unreasonable as you did this morning. I hope you felt so brave and
Israel agreed to release 900 Palestinian prisoners, some of whom are violent terrorists, and a 6-week ceasefire. Yet, all of you yelling for an immediate truce are not talking about the fact that Hamas rejected deal after deal and the fact that they do not have 40 living hostages
I landed after almost 23 hours of travel and heard that an older Jewish man was tragically murdered at a “free Palestine” rally, not in Germany, but in LA. You don’t see Jews attacking Palestinians on the streets, let alone killing them. You don’t see Jewish students harassing
While I don’t post during Shabbat I must break that today. Israel is at war and my heart is breaking for what is happening and unfolding there. Innocent Israelis murdered, walking on the streets, elderly being murdered while waiting at bus stops, women & children being kidnapped,
Dear Hamas supporters STOP covering your face. If you're so proud of protesting, why don't you show us who you are? Also, if you can't even name what river and sea you’re chanting about or explain what an intifada is or, better yet, can’t even point out Israel 🇮🇱 on a map, stay
The bottom line all staff and workers should be respected and not dragged into a political mess. They all work hard every day to make sure things continue to operate. This behavior is wrong, plain, and simple. BE NICE TO STAFF PERIOD.
It is clear the squad is a small fraction of the Dem party. Regardless of what anyone says they don’t represent us. They’re loud but definitely NOT the majority. They now face new vulnerability over anti-Israel activism and we should be working hard to replace them. Join me on

Absolutely disgusting that this Anti-Israel flyer about me has been circulated in my neighborhood with my home address. I don’t understand how anyone in their right mind believes this is OK. Hearing from concerned neighbors this morning who have shared the flyer & the camera
Someone posted “kill them” on my picture with friends & someone responded with “I will carry out his mission” this, my friends, is a threat and most definitely not to be taken lightly. Disgusting deplorable behavior. Sorry to those in my pic for the abuse you are now subject to.
