"This morning, I was alerted to antisemitic leaflets distributed at residences in my district. I condemn this disgusting display of antisemitism. My Jewish constituents deserve to live in safety and without fear of intimidation or violence," Garcia said. "The leaflets draw on deeply rooted conspiracy theories about government influence by listing Jewish members of the Biden administration.
