Florida motorcyclists injured after hitting six-foot alligator on highway

Two motorcyclists were hospitalized over the weekend after striking a six-foot alligator on a Florida highway, according to state Highway Patrol.

The bizarre collision took place Saturday around 6:00pm on Interstate 4 in Volusia County, according to WOFL, an Orlando-based FOX affiliate that spoke exclusively with both bikers.

67-year-old Cameron Gilmore, who sustained a broken foot and toes after hitting the alligator, told WFOL that he and 25-year-old Brandi Gross were riding with a larger group when the former noticed a “big blob in the road.”  

“I thought it was a semi-tire that came off the tread or something,” Gilmore said. 

However, the “blob” in question wasn’t a tire – it was an alligator that threw him off of his motorcycle after he hit it.

“I said, ‘Uh, help me, Jesus’,” Gilmore told WOFL. 

“And I, um, just kept flipping. I’m like, when is this going to stop?” He continued. “And then I started sliding, and I’m like, when is this gonna stop? Just sliding and sliding, and then it went off the road into the grass, and, um, couldn’t move much.”

Gross, who was right behind Gilmore, suffered a similar fate.

“I just seen something, and like, once I realized what it was, it was just too late,” she told the network. “I was like, ‘oh crap, you know, like,’ and it just, the impact happened. I flipped over, and I just wasn’t expecting a gator to be in the middle of the road right there.”

Gross reportedly sustained a concussion and cracked the bone on the side of her wrist.

As for the alligator, the extent of its injuries remains unknown – and the crash is under investigation.

Gilmore and Gross, however, remain upbeat despite their injuries.

“They’re calling me Gator Gilmore instead of Florida man,” Gilmore said, before admitting that he is, indeed, “getting called Florida man, too.”

The Washington Post is being mocked online and by the White House for “pathetic” reporting on what the liberal-leaning news outlet calls a “mysterious” decline in fentanyl flowing across the border.

Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is often trafficked into the United States across the southern and northern borders by cartels and other criminal elements. In 2024, fentanyl was linked to the death of 48,422 persons in the United States, according to the CDC.

During his campaign, President Donald Trump vowed to wage a war against fentanyl traffickers through increased border security and by cracking down on illegal immigration. Since taking office, Trump has deployed U.S. troops to the southern border, targeted cartels and transnational criminal groups as “foreign terrorist organizations” and hit cartel leaders with sanctions.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the U.S. law enforcement seizures of fentanyl, which the group explains is a “key indicator of broader total smuggling at and between the southern border’s ports of entry,” have dropped 50% since the November election. CIS states that this significant decline indicates a “greater decline in total fentanyl smuggling.”

BONDI ANNOUNCES ONE OF LARGEST FENTANYL SEIZURES IN US HISTORY

The Washington Post reports on this decline, stating that U.S. seizures at the southern border are down by almost 30 percent compared with the same period in 2024. The outlet, however, states that the drop “represents something of a mystery.”

“After years of confiscating rising amounts of fentanyl, the opioid that has fueled the most lethal drug epidemic in American history, U.S. officials are confronting a new and puzzling reality at the Mexican border. Fentanyl seizures are plummeting,” wrote the Post.

Among the possible reasons listed by the outlet are cartels finding other ways to smuggle the drug into the U.S., cartel internal strife, ingredient shortages and a possible decline in demand.

Though baffled by the reason for the decline, The Washington Post posited that “public health authorities are concerned that the Trump administration’s budget cuts could hurt programs that have promoted overdose antidotes and addiction treatment.”

SOME FENTANYL DEALERS WOULD BE CHARGED WITH FELONY MURDER UNDER NEW BILL

The article was widely mocked by conservatives online.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., commented on X, “The Washington Post is reporting a ‘mysterious drop’ in fentanyl seizures at the southern border. Mystery solved! The Trump effect is working.”

Charlie Kirk, a popular conservative influencer, also commented, saying: “Four months into the Trump administration, The Washington Post is marveling at the ‘mysterious’ drop in fentanyl seizures on the Mexican border … Is the Post simply lying, or are their reporters as dumb as the people they’re writing propaganda for?”

The Department of Homeland Security’s official X account also replied, commenting: “It’s no mystery. On day one, [President] Trump closed our borders to drug traffickers.”

DHS said that “from March 2024 to March 2025 fentanyl traffic at the southern border fell by 54%.”

“The world has heard the message loud and clear,” said DHS. 

WHISTLEBLOWER ACCUSES BIDEN ADMIN OF LEAVING THOUSANDS OF MIGRANT CHILD TRAFFICKING REPORTS UNINVESTIGATED

Several top White House spokespersons also weighed in. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt simply called the Post “pathetic,” and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said: “They can’t stand that President Trump’s strong border policies have led to a DECREASE in fentanyl coming into the U.S.”

Abigail Jackson, another White House spokeswoman, told Fox News Digital that “the drop in fentanyl seizures at the border is only a mystery to Washington Post reporters suffering from Trump-Derangement Syndrome.”

“As of March, fentanyl traffic at the Southern Border had fallen by more than half from the same time last year – while Joe Biden’s open border was still terrorizing America,” said Jackson. “Everyone else knows the simple truth: President Trump closed our border to illegal drug traffickers and Americans are safer because of it.”

The Washington Post did not immediately respond to a request by Fox News Digital for comment.

The Boulder, Colorado domestic terrorism suspect spent a year preparing to hurl Molotov cocktails into a peaceful pro-Israel march, court documents revealed.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national whose visa, which was granted during the Biden administration, expired in March 2025, told federal authorities that the violence was a long time in the making.

In an interview with authorities, according to the federal complaint, the suspect said he was waiting for his daughter’s graduation before carrying out the attack.

BOULDER TERROR ATTACK SUSPECT SAID HE WANTED TO KILL ‘ALL ZIONIST PEOPLE,’ USED MOLOTOV COCKTAILS: FEDS

Following his daughter’s milestone, he allegedly proceeded with his plan. Court documents say he researched how to build incendiary weapons on YouTube, collected the ingredients over time, and transported the homemade devices to Boulder in his silver Toyota Prius.

On Sunday, June 1 at 12:55 p.m. MST, Soliman arrived early to the gathering, according to the complaint. He told authorities that he discovered “Run For Their Lives,” a group organizing weekly walks to bring awareness to the Israeli hostages, through social media.

As participants assembled in Boulder’s Pearl Street area, Soliman allegedly yelled “Free Palestine!” and launched two lit Molotov cocktails into the throngs of people at 2 p.m. MST. He was arrested shortly after. 

The incident, which the FBI described as a “targeted terror attack,” left twelve people, ages 52 to 88, with injuries, including one in critical condition. None of the victims have died.

Soliman later told investigators he specifically targeted what he called a “Zionist group” and wished they were all dead. 

“I would do it again,” he told authorities, according to the complaint.

According to the affidavit, Soliman was motivated by “Zionists.” He told officers that the people at the event represented an existential threat to “our land,” referring to Palestine, and that they had to be stopped.

Law enforcement recovered at least 14 unlit Molotov cocktails, along with gasoline, red rags, and a weed sprayer that may have been intended for dispersing flammable liquid, according to the complaint.

Inside his vehicle were papers bearing the words “Israel,” “Palestine,” and “USAID,” authorities said.

A video later posted on X appeared to show the suspect shirtless and pacing, holding one of the makeshift weapons and shouting, “How many children killed?” followed by, “End Zionist.”

Law enforcement also searched Soliman’s home, where he said he had left a journal and an iPhone containing messages to his family. His wife later turned over the phone to authorities. 

A storage unit behind the residence, linked to Soliman by a neighbor, was also investigated.

Soliman is charged with violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 249(a)(1) and (a)(2), federal hate crime statutes involving acts motivated by race, religion, or national origin.

A Honduran national has been charged in federal court after he allegedly crashed a vehicle into a barricade outside the Pensacola, Florida, Navy base and entered the base illegally while running from law enforcement, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Orly Moises Garcia Hernandez, 34, has been charged with illegally entering a military, Naval or Coast Guard property, and resisting or impeding arrest by a federal officer, the DOJ said in a news release.

On May 25, Garcia Hernandez allegedly crashed into a barricade outside a checkpoint at the Naval Air Station Pensacola gate, then ran from military forces onto the base to escape apprehension.

Military police ultimately captured Garcia Hernandez at gunpoint after the foot pursuit.

If he is convicted, Garcia Hernandez could face up to 18 months in prison and deportation.

The DOJ said the case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that streamlines efforts and resources within the Department of Homeland Security to not just crack down on illegal immigration but also achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and protect our communities from the “perpetrators of violent crimes.”

The operation also streamlines efforts and resources from the DHS’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).

Kristin Cavallari stands by her decision to distance herself from her father.

In a recent interview with People, the 38-year-old reality TV star opened up about her decision to cut out her father from her life, calling it “the best decision I’ve ever made.”

“I mean, honestly, and this might sound messed up to some people, but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made, cutting my dad out of my life. Such a weight has been lifted from me,” she told the outlet. “There’s not one day where I miss him. I don’t know if it was two or three years ago, but I mean, I was an adult, let’s say I was 35 [when I decided]. It was 35 years of buildup to that point.”

She went on to explain that it “was something that I had been wanting to do for a long time” and it wasn’t until after he “crossed the boundary with my kids” and wouldn’t apologize that she pulled the trigger.

KRISTIN CAVALLARI DENIES DATING A-LISTER AFTER RUMORS SWIRLED FOR YEARS

Cavallari shares three children with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, including sons Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and daughter Saylor, 9.

“Like, you’re just gaslighting me. I don’t have time for that anymore,” she continued. “If someone’s not bringing you joy, if people are only bringing you hurt and sadness and anger, what is the point? Even if it’s a parent, life’s too short.”

The reality star first opened up about her decision to cut her dad out of her life in December 2023 during an appearance on her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest,” in which she spoke with psychologist Dr. Sherrie Campbell.

During a discussion about narcissism, Cavallari shared that she never felt comfortable around her father, as he was constantly putting her down as a child and that she didn’t realize he was a narcissist until she was an adult.

“But then the flip side of that is, sometimes he would put me on this pedestal and talk me up,” she said on her podcast. “Now, as an adult looking back, it was when it benefited you and made you look good.”

She further elaborated on what it was like growing up with her father on a December 2024 episode of Bunnie Xo’s podcast, “Dumb Blonde,” where she described the relationship as having “so many layers to it. It’s so complicated…. It really is disgusting.”

Cavallari referred to her cutting contact with her father as “the last thing I needed to do in my healing journey,” even comparing her marriage to Cutler to her relationship with her father, saying, “I was repeating a pattern with my dad.”

“I hadn’t done the work on my relationship with my dad. That’s what you do. I ended up marrying my dad,” she said. “And so it really forced me to then to work through my s—, which is what I did. So when we got a divorce for the last five years, quite honestly, I’ve really taken the time to get my s— together so that I don’t then make the same mistake.”

Josh Allen finally has a ring.

No, it may not be a Super Bowl ring that Buffalo Bills fans might prefer him to have, but the reigning MVP has a more important one after tying the knot with Hailee Steinfeld on Saturday.

It was a quick engagement for the couple – Allen proposed to Steinfeld back in November.

Allen went with the classic-black tuxedo, while Steinfeld rocked a strapless dress with arm-length gloves in their Montecito, California, celebration.

Allen’s teammate, Dion Dawkins, said earlier last year the quarterback was “in love” with the “Starving” singer. The two have been dating since May 2023.

Comedian Larry David was also in attendance for the wedding but it was unclear why he was there. David is a noted New York Jets fan and it’s likely he and Allen have had interactions in the past.

EX-NFL STAR DEZ BRYANT SLAMS LEAGUE’S PRIDE MONTH MESSAGING: ‘FAR FROM RIGHT’

Allen’s Bills fell short in the AFC title game once again, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.

He led the NFL with a 77.3 QBR, leading his squad to yet another division title. The doubters were out after Buffalo traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans in the offseason, but the Bills were the first team to clinch a division in the league this past season.

Allen started in all 17 games in the 2024 season – he played one snap in the season finale to keep his consecutive-starts streak alive. He threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns while rushing for another dozen.

He has finished inside the top-5 of MVP voting in four of the last five years.

California Democrats at their annual state convention had mix feelings about whether someone from their state could win on a national level after former Vice President Kamala Harris lost in 2024.

Delegates convened over the weekend with guests to induct new members and plan for the 2026 election season. Although Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have both been seen as potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders, neither appeared at the convention, with Harris only addressing the convention via video.

The convention largely avoided discussions about the 2028 election, with at least one delegate wondering if a liberal Californian could win on the national stage at all. 

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS UNCERTAIN ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS’ POTENTIAL RUN FOR GOVERNOR

“I don’t know if a California Democrat can win a presidential election,” delegate Jane Baulch-Enloe told the Los Angeles Times. “California is thought of as the crazy people… I don’t mean that in a bad way — though I know some people do — but we do things differently here.”

Baulch-Enloe instead insisted California Democrats first need to “get people on our side and help them understand that we aren’t just wacko liberals and teach people that it’s okay to want things” like higher wages or universal healthcare.

Other attendees, such as Asian American Pacific Islander caucus leader Aref Aziz, argued that Democrats need to have a clearer perspective and message on the economy if they want to win more elections.

“When you look at a lot of our economies, California and New York, by all accounts, GDP, the numbers that you look at, they’re doing great,” Aziz said. “But when it comes to the cost that consumers are paying in these places, they’re so high and so far above other countries that we end up diminishing whatever value there is in our GDP, because everything’s so expensive.”

However, not all delegates believed California’s liberal policies would be a hindrance to future elections.

LAURA: COURTESY OF HORRID LIBERAL POLICIES, CALIFORNIA IN A METAPHORIC SENSE, HAS BEEN BURNING FOR DECADES

“People like to point a finger somewhere, and I think California is an easy target, but I disagree,” delegate Melissa Taylor told the LA Times. “Because I think that California is standing up for values that the Democratic Party believes in, like we believe in labor, we believe in healthcare, we believe in women’s rights, we believe in rights for LGBTQ people.”

Jodi Hicks, the president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, added that Harris’ loss was prompted by multiple “unique” factors, including her short three-month campaign, rather than politics. However, she agreed Democrats need “to walk and chew gum at the same time” when it comes to promoting liberal policies and helping the economy.

Tyrese Haliburton’s girlfriend’s troll game is a 10 out of 10.

The Indiana Pacers are moving on to the NBA Finals for the first time this century after defeating the New York Knicks, the same team they beat 25 years ago in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Pacers’ series win was kick-started by an historic comeback, and Jade Jones basked in it.

“finally got to see the ball drop in NYC,” she posted on Instagram after that game with a smirking emoji.

Well, after the Knicks’ season ended over the weekend, Jones took one more parting shot at the Knickerbockers.

“go NY go NY go… Home!!!” Jones posted on Sunday in a play on the Knicks’ “Go New York” rally cry. 

Jones posted several photos in the post, including three with herself and Haliburton, an AI-generated photo of the Statue of Liberty in a Pacers jersey and a shot of Haliburton’s infamous choke signal after Game 1.

‘MEN DON’T BELONG IN WOMEN’S SPORTS,’ NBA STAR BELIEVES AMID DEBATE OVER TRANSGENDER ATHLETES

Haliburton pulled off a Grade-A troll job on Sunday, including toward Knicks superfan Ben Stiller.

Haliburton and his other Pacers teammates entered the Gainbridge Fieldhouse wearing all black, alluding to having a funeral for the Knicks and the series. He carried a black duffel bag with him as he walked through the arena’s corridor. Stiller had some words on X.

“Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY,” he wrote.

After the game, Haliburton fired back.

“Nah, was to pack y’all up,” Haliburton wrote.

The Pacers now have a date with the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are considered the heavy favorites to win their first-ever title after going 68-14 in the regular season with MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Indiana defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers in five and six games, respectively, before taking on New York, who had taken down the Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics in a stunning upset.

Oklahoma City defeated Indiana in both matchups during the regular season.

As she runs for re-election in 2026, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York will now face a primary challenge from her own lieutenant governor.

New York Lt. Gov. Anthonio Delgado on Monday announced his bid to try and oust his boss as the Democrats’ nominee in next year’s election, in a very rare move by a lieutenant governor to primary challenge a sitting incumbent.

“New York, I’m not here to play the game. I’m here to change it. I’m running to be your next Governor,” Delgado said in a social media post.

In an accompanying video, the 48-year-old Delgado took a jab at his boss, saying “what we need right here in New York is bold, decisive, transformational leadership.”

 MORE POLLING PROBLEMS FOR THIS BLUE STATE DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR FACING RE-ELECTION NEXT YEAR

And in an interview with the New York Times, the lieutenant governor said that “people are hurting and New York deserves better leadership.”

Delgado, who is Black, in 2018 became the first person of African-American or Latino descent to be elected to Congress from Upstate New York. 

HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS REPORTING, ANALYSIS, AND OPINION ON NEW YORK GOV. KATHY HOCHUL

Four years later Hochul appointed Delgado to fill the then-vacant lieutenant governor’s office, making him the first Latino to hold statewide office in New York.

But in recent years, their working relationship deteriorated and after months of political friction with Hochul and mulling a bid for governor, Delgado made it official.

Hochul was the state’s lieutenant governor when, in August 2021, she was sworn in as New York’s first female governor, after three-term Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace amid multiple scandals.

She defeated then-Rep. Lee Zeldin by just over six points in 2022 to win a full four-year term steering New York. Zeldin’s showing was the best by a Republican gubernatorial nominee in blue-state New York since then-GOP Gov. George Pataki won re-election to a third term in 2002.

In July of last year, Hochul announced her intention to run for re-election in 2026.

While the governor’s approval ratings in a recent Siena College poll were holding slightly in positive territory, the survey indicated a majority of New Yorkers would still prefer someone else to win the 2026 election for governor in the Empire State.

REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS CHAIR, POINTING TO CAMPAIGN BATTLES AHEAD, TOUTS ‘OUR POLICIES ARE BETTER’

According to the poll, which was conducted May 12-15, 36% of registered voters in New York state said they would vote to re-elect Hochul to a second four-year term, with a majority (55%) saying they wanted someone else. 

It is a 10-point negative movement for Hochul compared to Siena’s April survey, when 39% of those questioned said they were prepared to vote to re-elect the governor and 48% wanted someone else.

Fifty-one percent of Democrats surveyed in the new poll said at this early point in the 2026 election cycle they are prepared to re-elect Hochul, with 38% of Democrats saying they want “someone else.”

But the poll indicated Hochul holding a wide lead over Delgado and Rep. Richie Torres, who is also mulling a Democratic gubernatorial campaign. Hochul stood at 46% in the poll in the Democratic nomination race, with Delgado at 12% and Torres at 10%.

The Democratic Governors Association (DGA) praised Hochul in a statement following Delgado’s announcement.

“Governor Kathy Hochul is a proven leader with a strong record of delivering for New Yorkers: putting money back in their pockets, protecting reproductive rights, and keeping communities safe. The Governor knows how to take on big fights and win for New York families — and her agenda is overwhelmingly popular with New Yorkers on both sides of the aisle. The Democratic Governors Association is 100 percent behind Governor Hochul as she continues to deliver for New York, take on Donald Trump, and build the operation it will take to beat Republicans up and down the ballot in 2026,” DGA executive director Meghan Meehan-Draper said.

Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York, who unsuccessfully primary challenged Hochul in 2022, took to social media to caution Delgado.

“Antonio, you are a talented guy, with a great future. Based upon my experience this may not be the most well-thought out idea!” Suozzi said.

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, who is seriously considering a 2026 run for governor, used Monday’s news of Delgado’s primary challenge to reiterate her criticism of Hochul.

“I dubbed Kathy Hochel the worst governor in America because it’s true. It’s not just Republicans, it’s independent and Democrat voters as well across this state who understand that she has failed, she has delivered catastrophic failed policies in New York,” Stefanik said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday evening. 

And the six-term congresswoman from Upstate New York, whom the Siena poll indicated was the front-runner in a hypothetical GOP primary, added that “this is her hand picked lieutenant governor that she chose that is now primarying Kathy Hochul and it is because she failed at her job.”

Asked if the news will push her closer to running for  governor, Stefanik said “I am taking a close look. It’s why I’m crisscrossing the state. I am on Staten Island today… I’ll be in Erie County, Suffolk County, Albany County, New York City. I’ve been all over the place and that will continue.”

GOP Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, who is also seriously considering a run for governor, took to social media to also blast Hochul “as the worst Governor in America — failed, feckless, and grossly incompetent.”

“She must be defeated in 2026 and replaced with a Republican Governor who can restore balance and common sense to Albany,” he argued.

Progressive Democrats spoke out against antisemitism following a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, in which an Egyptian national set peaceful protesters on fire at a demonstration to bring Israeli hostages home

“I am horrified by last night’s horrific attack in Boulder,” progressive Democrat and potential 2028 presidential candidate,Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said on X. “My heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country. Antisemitism is on the rise here at home, and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who was voted off the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023 and was hit with a censure resolution in 2024 for alleged antisemitism, condemned the violence on Monday. 

“I’m holding the victims and families in Boulder, Colorado in my heart,” Omar said in a social media post. “Violence against anyone is never acceptable. We must reject hatred and harm in all its forms.”

TRUMP SAYS BOULDER TERROR ATTACK ‘WILL NOT BE TOLERATED,’ DEPORTATIONS MUST CONTINUE

While Omar’s censure resolution never passed, the House did vote to censure fellow “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., in 2023 for alleged anti-Israel comments

US POLITICIANS, JEWISH GROUPS CONDEMN ‘HORRIFYING’ BOULDER TERROR ATTACK: ‘VILE, ANTISEMITIC ACT OF TERROR’

“The violent attack in Boulder is horrific. My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families. Violence has no place in our communities,” Tlaib said on X.

Two progressive Democrats, who joined Congress in 2022, also slammed the “antisemitic attack” in social media statements. 

“I am horrified by the antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado,” Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, who was elected in 2022, said on social media. “My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and Jewish communities across the country.

“Yesterday’s antisemitic attack against those in Boulder, CO calling for the safe return of hostages is deplorable and heartbreaking,” Rep. Delia C. Ramirez, D-Ill., said on X, condemning both violence against Gaza and violence in our local U.S. communities. 

“Neither bombing in Gaza nor violence perpetrated in our communities will bring us closer to peace. Only by recognizing our interconnected safety and shared humanity can we carve a path forward. As we hold those affected by the attack close, our nation’s leaders must unite to reject all forms of hate and violence that continue to make us all less safe, and to honor the dignity of every human life,” she added. 

Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., the first Gen-Z congressman, admitted he should have supported a resolution in 2023 condemning antisemitism on college campuses. He joined the progressive Democrats on Monday who condemned the attack. 

“I’m horrified to hear about the antisemitic attack in Boulder, just weeks after the shooting of two Israeli embassy officials in DC. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. There is no place for this hatred and violence — and we must keep working to end it. Political and bigoted violence in our country must be denounced swiftly and strongly by all,” he said. 

One of the original “Squad” members who was elected in 2018, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., added on X on Monday afternoon, “The antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado is horrifying and unacceptable. Violence against innocent people is never the answer. It will never bring justice for anyone, and we must do everything to root it out. I pray for the victims, their loved ones, and everyone impacted.”

The Massachusetts Democrat also spoke out against President Donald Trump on Monday. 

“Donald Trump wants to sow fear & chaos in our communities so we feel alone & defeated — but we won’t let him. Tune in as I join immigrant justice advocates, local leaders, & impacted families to tell Trump & ICE: Hands off our immigrant neighbors,” Pressley wrote on X, as she directed her followers to a livestreamed event condemning Trump’s deportation policies.

As of Monday afternoon, “Squad” member, Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania did not condemn the attack on social media. Lee’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
