Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D), who stunned incumbent Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) in the Democratic gubernatorial primary this week, vowed to confront Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros about her refusal to condemn the Boulder firebombing of Jewish activists as anti-Semitism.
Kiros, who knocked out a 15-term incumbent in her Democratic Party congressional primary, grabbed headlines last week during an interview with local 9News anchor Kyle Clark.
Clark pressed Democratic Socialist Kiros on some of her past controversial statements, including calling the October 7th terror attacks in Israel “the inevitable consequence of apartheid.”
While Kiros said she did not believe Israel deserved the brutal Hamas attack, she did say that the 9/11 terror attacks were the “inevitable” result of the U.S. destabilizing the Middle East, which sparked anger in many circles.
Clark eventually asked Kiros about the 2025 firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado, on a Jewish group, which left several injured and one dead. Kiros refused to call the attack an act of anti-Semitism, arguing she did not know what was the motivation of the attacker.
“To the extent that you’re aware of what she has said about Israel, do you see anti-Semitism there?” Clark asked Weiser on Wednesday night about his previous interview with Kiros.
“Well, I want to pick up one point because it’s personal to me, and I believe she said something about this in your interview. What happened on June 1st in Boulder was an anti-Semitic attack. I knew Karen Diamond — she was a supporter and a friend. I know Lou Diamond, who’s now a widower. We cannot look at that murder and say anything else happened than a hate crime,” replied Weiser, mentioning he knew some of the victims. He added:
And so, if someone isn’t going to acknowledge that, I am concerned about that. This was tried — this was, now we have a conviction. Our judicial system is set up to make a judgment, and the judgment here was: it was a hate crime.
This is a point you hear a lot in the context of Black Lives Matter. Now we’re talking Jewish Lives Matter, and for a lot of people this may not have been as clear a conversation, but let me tell you what it means. Black Lives Matter, period. Black Lives Matter. Elijah McClain’s life mattered, period. You don’t put a comma. Jewish lives matter. Karen Diamond’s life mattered. You don’t put a comma, an “and,” or a “but” — period. That’s the message.
I haven’t sat down with her, but when we have a conversation, and if this June 1st attack comes up, that’s my view.
