Rep. Bobby Scott conflates Charlottesville Unite the Right rally with current wave of antisemitism

Rep. Bobby Scott attempted to conflate the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville to the current wave of antisemitism sweeping the country's campuses.

At a congressional hearing titled “Columbia in Crisis: Columbia University’s Response to Antisemitism,” which intended to look at the elite school’s problems with responding to antisemitism, Scott immediately dived into comparing the significant rise of antisemitism on college campuses across the country to the rally at which white supremacists and many others violently clashed near the University of Virginia seven years ago.

The Virginia Democrat went on to move attention away from the antisemitism at the center of the hearing, mentioning, “racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and other forms of hate.” “It’s unfortunate that referencing the tragedy in Charlottesville has become a repeated talking point at committee events intended to address the wave of antisemitism occurring nationwide today,” Foxx said.
