After a series of shocking anti-Semitic attacks in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio is speaking out about a culture of hatred in the country that he says stems in part from the leadership in Washington. Without mentioning President Donald Trump specifically, de Blasio said that the country is in a “crisis” that must be addressed by the leaders in the Trump administration.
According to Fox News, de Blasio addressed the issue of anti-Semitism in the U.S. the day after five people were stabbed during a Hanukkah celebration at a rabbi’s house. At least eight other attacks against people of the Jewish faith have taken place this month in New York City alone.
“We are in a crisis right now,” de Blasio said. “What we’re seeing is a growth of anti-Semitism in this country that is profoundly dangerous. It is happening in Europe as well.”
