Violent Attack on U.S. Capitol Unconscionable Says WJC President
After presidential election certification, time to unite
World Jewish Congress President Ambassador Ronald S. Lauder praised the United

Jr. and condemned yesterday’s violent occupation of the U.S. Capitol by
insurrectionists seeking to overturn the results of November’s presidential
election.
Ambassador Lauder said:

onslaught on our nation’s integrity and historical traditions that we witnessed
yesterday. I commend Vice President Pence and the members of the U.S. Congress
for upholding American Constitutional norms and reminding us of the majesty of
our traditions.
“At the same time, I unambiguously condemn the thugs and criminals who yesterday
epitomized the worst elements of society by vandalizing the sacred halls and
chambers of Congress, together with all who incited and abetted their
unconscionable violence that also resulted in a tragic loss of life.
“Now is the time for all Americans of good will, regardless of our political or
ideological views, to rally behind President-elect Biden and Vice
President-elect Harris and ensure that our government will successfully defeat
the COVID-19 pandemic and tackle the many challenges confronting our nation and
the world.”
