Rep. Becca Balint, a Democrat, recounts a remark by another House Democrat during a bipartisan antisemitism task force meeting, according to multiple reports. Balint says the colleague dismissed concerns about antisemitism by arguing that antisemitism is no longer an issue because “all the Jews are rich.”
The reports describe Balint’s account as a response to discussions about antisemitism in the United States. One outlet says Balint relayed the anecdote to CNN, while another repeats the same core description of the quote, including the claim about Jewish people being rich as the basis for dismissing antisemitism concerns.
The coverage centers on Balint’s recollection of what was said at the meeting, rather than providing independent confirmation of whether the remark was made verbatim beyond Balint’s account. No additional context about the broader meeting agenda or follow-up actions is included in the excerpts provided.
