Raskin claims GOP has antisemitism: ‘Why does Stefanik think she can?
Rep. Jamie Raskin Slams GOP Over Antisemitism Response
During a recent interview on MSNBC, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) passionately criticized the Republican Party’s handling of the national issue of antisemitism on college campuses. Raskin specifically called out Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and former President Donald Trump for their actions and associations.
“Somebody like Elise Stefanik has no problem going after Ivy League presidents, what about Donald Trump, who dines with Nicholas Fuentes, who is an unreconstructed holocaust revisionist neonazi who says that Jews don’t belong in Western civilization,” Raskin expressed.
Raskin further highlighted the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where Trump infamously stated that there were “some very fine people on both sides.” The rally included chants of “Jews will not replace us!” as reported by the Anti-Defamation League.
“If we’re going to have a conversation about antisemitism, let’s talk about real antisemitism in the Republican party,” Raskin emphasized.
The discussion then shifted to the recent testimony of college heads before Congress. One of the witnesses, President of the University of Pennsylvania Liz Magill, faced backlash and eventually resigned due to her appearance.
During her testimony, Magill was questioned about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated the university’s code of conduct. CBS News reported that she responded by stating, “If it is directed and severe and pervasive, it is harassment.” When pressed further by Stefanik, Magill described the decision as “context-dependent.”
Magill’s refusal to provide a straightforward “yes” or “no” answer to the question received criticism.

How did Emily overcome doubt and find the courage to continue in her journey to Avalora?
A few years ago, in a small town nestled between rolling hills, there lived a young woman named Emily. She was a dreamer, constantly seeking adventure and new experiences. Emily had always felt trapped within the confines of her sleepy town, yearning for something more.
One day, while browsing through old books at the local library, Emily stumbled upon a faded map tucked away among the pages of an ancient tome. The map depicted an unexplored and mysterious island named Avalora. Its lush forests, captivating beaches, and untamed beauty instantly ignited a fire within Emily’s heart.
Determined to embark on this grand adventure, Emily gathered her belongings and bid farewell to her friends and family. With her heart pounding in anticipation, she set sail towards Avalora, leaving her old life behind.
As she sailed further away from the shore, the vastness of the ocean overwhelmed Emily. Doubt crept into her mind, but the desire to explore a world beyond her own kept her going. She reminded herself of her dreams and the courage within her.
After days of battling fierce waves and sleepless nights, Emily spotted land in the distance. Avalora stood proudly, welcoming her with its towering cliffs and emerald green forests. Anchoring her vessel along the pristine shoreline, she took her first step onto the island, feeling the soft sand beneath her feet.
Emily ventured deep into the heart of Avalora, encountering enchanting creatures and unspoiled landscapes at every turn. She crossed cascading waterfalls, scaled treacherous mountains, and forged her own paths through dense jungles. Each challenge she faced only fueled her determination even further.
Along her journey, Emily encountered a group of locals who had made Avalora their home. They shared tales of a hidden treasure, whispered through generations, concealed within the heart of the island. Intrigued by this legend, Emily vowed to uncover the mystery.
With the help of her newfound friends, Emily deciphered ancient clues, leading them to a forgotten temple nestled deep within the island’s heart. As she stepped into the temple’s dimly lit chambers, she could feel the weight of anticipation in the air.
Inside, she discovered a mesmerizing trove of artifacts and jewels, glistening in the soft light. But amongst the riches, she found something far more valuable – a sense of fulfillment and purpose that she had been searching for all along.
As Emily made her way back to her boat, treasures in hand, she realized that the true adventure wasn’t in the destination, but in the journey itself. Avalora had not only provided her with breathtaking landscapes but also with the courage to follow her dreams and discover who she truly was.
With a heart overflowing with gratitude, Emily bid farewell to Avalora, carrying with her the memories of the island’s beauty and the invaluable lessons she had learned. She returned home to her small town, forever changed, ready to inspire others to step out of their comfort zones and embrace their own adventures, just as Avalora had done for her.
