Rep. Becca Balint, a Democratic member of the U.S. House, says she recalls a fellow House Democrat dismissing concerns about antisemitism by using the argument that “all the Jews are rich.” Balint made the comments in an interview with CNN, referring to a bipartisan antisemitism task force meeting. According to Balint, the colleague’s remark suggested that antisemitism is not a current problem because Jewish people are assumed to have wealth.
The accounts describe Balint’s recollection rather than a new policy action, focusing on the statement made during the meeting. The coverage also frames the remark as an example of how antisemitism concerns are treated within political discussions, though outlets differ in their framing and wording. Across the reports provided, the core points are consistent: Balint identifies the setting as a bipartisan antisemitism task force meeting, attributes the dismissive comment to another House Democrat, and quotes the “all the Jews are rich” line as the substance of that dismissal.
