KJP on if Biden Is Concerned About a Potential Rise of Anti-Semitism: Muslims ‘Endured a Disproportionate Number of Hate-Fueled Attacks’

‘Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "So, a couple of things. Look, we have not seen any credible threats. I know there’s been always questions about credible threats, and so just want to make sure that that’s out there. But, look, Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks, and certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim Arab Americans and Palestinian American loved ones and neighbors are worried about the hate being directed at their communities, and that is something you heard the president speak to in his address just last Thursday. And so, one of the things that the president has done is directed his team — homeland security team to prioritize prevention and disruption of any emerging threats that could harm the Jewish, the Muslim Arab Americans or any other communities, and that is something that the president has sought to do since day one.”
