Colorado Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Weiser revealed Wednesday he was concerned that far-left congressional candidate Melat Kiros could not answer whether the firebombing of a pro-Israel rally was antisemitic.
Kiros’ Response to the Attack
In an interview with 9News last month, Kiros hesitated to answer whether a deadly attack on a pro-Israel rally in Boulder last year, which killed one attendee and wounded a dozen others, could be described as antisemitic. Kiros stated, ‘I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator… All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed.’
Weiser pointed out that the perpetrator, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, had already been convicted of all charges, including committing a hate crime. Weiser referred to the crime as an ‘antisemitic attack’ and expressed remorse for 82-year-old Karen Diamond, who was killed during the demonstration.
