”Randi Weingarten has not said anything, anything, about antisemitism, so to raise her name raises my ire,” said Walberg during his remarks. As the head of the nation’s second-largest teachers’ union, Weingarten has frequently been a target of Republican criticism. You think I — a Jewish American who has faced antisemitism and is married to a Rabbi — has never spoken out against antisemitism? Also on Tuesday, the AFT sent a letter to Walberg deriding him for his comments and listing examples of Weingarten’s statements addressing antisemitism. “The sheer volume and duration of Ms. Weingarten’s statements condemning antisemitism make your comment at this morning’s hearing indefensible and incomprehensible,” the letter read.
