Washington, D.C.— Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) this morning spoke on the Senate floor honoring Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a young Jewish couple gunned down last night by a terrorist outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. After reportedly murdering the young couple, the perpetrator yelled “Free Palestine.”
Senator Lummis’ remarks on the Senate Floor are below:
“I want to take a moment to remember Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, who were tragically, senselessly, murdered last night at the Capital Jewish Museum. May their memory be a blessing for their families, their friends, and their community – and their faith.
“Let me be very clear: antisemitism, and this kind of hate fueled violence, have no place in our country, no place in the world, and I encourage you all to join me in keeping these families in your prayers in the coming weeks.
“I’m proud to stand in support of Israel during this time.”
