‘Antisemitic garbage’: Anti-Jewish poster discovered hanging outdoors GOP Rep. Walberg’s workplace

“This anti-Semitic garbage was hung outside my Jackson office today,” Mr. Walberg stated Monday on X. “Whether it’s occurring in plain sight like this, or it’s the hypocrisy and acceptance of calls for Jewish genocide on college campuses, I’ll continue to condemn the scourge of anti-Semitism.”
Mr. Walberg was among the many lawmakers who quizzed Harvard President Claudine Gay eventually week’s heated House Education and the Workforce Committee listening to on campus antisemitism.
“In what world is a call for violence against Jews protected speech, but a belief that sex is biological and binary isn’t?” he requested Ms. Gay on the Dec. 5 listening to.
He led a letter signed by 43 members of Congress calling for Education Secretary Miguel Cardona press faculties to extend safety for Jewish college students on campus amid escalating protests and harassment following the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on Israeli civilians.

“Anti-Semitism continues to sweep across the world, and sadly, it is alive in Michigan,” Mr. Walberg stated. “This crisis reflects a lack of morality and genuine education.
