These were people running for public office who had trafficked—some of them very recently—in “open and blatant” anti-Semitism without ever recanting or attempting to make amends for their actions.
Half of them are now serving in Congress, and of those, 3 are incumbents serving multiple terms. This election is over but there will be more in the future and more opportunities to enforce the red line against anti-Semitism in American public life.
There are no more excuses.
