Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser says he is concerned after far-left candidate Melat Kiros refused to explicitly condemn a bombing of a pro-Israel rally in Boulder. The incident involves an attack that investigators have described as a firebombing at the event. Weiser’s concern centers on Kiros’ response, which he did not frame as antisemitic and which did not directly call the attack wrong in the way some Democratic and public officials have urged. The dispute is part of a broader campaign conversation in Colorado’s gubernatorial race, where candidates and parties differ on how to address political violence and related rhetoric. While the reports focus on Weiser’s reaction to Kiros’ statements, they present no new investigative findings about the bombing itself. The outlets align on the central point: Kiros does not call the bombing antisemitic or condemn it in the explicit terms that Weiser and others seek, prompting public criticism during the election campaign.
