Hannity’s tweet featured an article from his official website titled, “TONE DEAF: VP Harris Blasted for Agenda Ignoring the Rise in Antisemitism [WATCH].”
In the article, it was stated that Kamala Harris has been facing severe backlash since her announcement on Biden Admin’s plan to fight Islamophobia despite the surge in antisemitic attacks.
Harris took to X and posted a video where she said, “Taking on hate is a national priority. Today, @POTUS and I are announcing the country’s first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia. This action is the latest step forward in our work to combat a surge of hate in America.”
She continued, “For years, Muslims in America and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.”
“As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic incidents across America, including the brutal attack of a Palestinian-American woman, who is Muslim, and the killing of her 6-year-old son,” Harris concluded.
Taking on hate is a national priority.

To this, several people from the government reacted to Harris’s statement. Professor Gad Saad said, “According to the @FBI director, Jews make up 2.4% of the US population but are the targets of 60% of hate crimes. This is why it is apparently important to fight Islamophobia according to the White House.”

This is just one example of many hateful acts of antisemitism we’ve seen across the country. Our VP should be prioritizing stopping the hate against the Jewish community right now.”
