One of the 2020 Democractic presidential contenders, Andrew Yang, wrote on Twitter that his feelings were with the victims of the Monsey stabbing and the Jewish community as a whole.
"Anti-Semitism is a horrifying scourge that has no place in America," he wrote in a tweet published Sunday morning."We must do all we can to prevent, punish and investigate these crimes and protect all who gather and worship in peace. We must do more." Yang further wrote that many of his friends were Jewish and that he could not imagine being part of a community as targeted for discrimination as theirs."It turns a time of celebration to one of fear and mourning," he wrote.
