Pelosi (D-CA-12) 05/01/2022: Twitter thread – “During Jewish American Heritage Month, we recognize the contributions & resilience of Jewish families across our country. From public service & entrepreneurship to the arts & sciences, the achievements of America's Jewish community have strengthened our nation & democracy. With a painful history of violent oppression around the world, the Jewish people have long found hope in America's promise of opportunity & religious liberty. Now, in the face of surging antisemitism at home & abroad, we must recommit to upholding those bedrock American values. The Congress will continue fighting to send bigoted hate into the dustbin of history. Let us renew our resolve to defend the rights & dignities of every person, everywhere — no matter who they are or how they pray.
