I do think it's about how you view the world.
And I think there is a more global, more...
intersectional, to use a controversial word, outlook from younger generation that sees a connection between, for example, what's happening in Ferguson or what's happening in Gaza.
I think those connections are made on college campuses.
I think people are much more tolerant and much more recognizing of diversity.
So the generational gap is bigger than the party gap.
To go back to your anti-Semitism point, I didn't say it wasn't a problem on the left.
I've called out anti-Semitism on the left.
I've called out anti-Semitism in my community, in Muslim communities, where it definitely exists.
What I'm saying is in America in 2024, if we're going to be worried about Jewish safety, the number one threat to Jewish safety comes from the American far right, which has been emboldened by Donald Trump and Elise Stefanik and all of these others in Congress.
The biggest massacre of American Jews were carried out in 2018 in Pittsburgh in a synagogue.
I think 11 Jews were murdered or 12 Jews were murdered while praying in a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
by a far-right shooter who was echoing the rhetoric of Donald J. Trump.
I just find it astonishing that we didn't see this kind of hysteria about Jewish safety when Jews were being gunned down in synagogues, but we're seeing it now when Jewish students are calling for divestment from Israel.
I just find it bizarre.
We go through the far right list.
We have Donald Trump hosting a Holocaust denier at Mar-a-Lago.
And now we have Republicans in Congress posturing as defenders of Jewish communities.
It's the greatest hypocrisy I've seen for years.
It's ridiculous.
