Biden to establish interagency group, national strategy to counter antisemitism

President Biden is set to establish an inter-agency group to increase and coordinate U.S. government efforts to counter "antisemitism, Islamaphobia and other related forms of bias and discrimination."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Monday evening said the inter-agency group will be led by the White House Domestic Policy Council and the White House National Security Council.

"As President Biden has made clear: antisemitism has no place in America," Jean-Pierre said Monday. "All Americans should forcefully reject antisemitism—including Holocaust denial—wherever it exists."

President Biden has tasked the group with developing a "national strategy to counter antisemitism."

Jean-Pierre said the strategy will "raise understanding about antisemitism and the threat it poses to the Jewish community and all Americans."

The strategy is also set to address antisemitic harassment and abuse both online and offline, and will seek to prevent antisemitic attacks and incidents.

The group will encourage "whole-of-society" efforts to counter antisemitism and "build a more inclusive nation."

"We look forward to working with advocates, civil rights leaders, civil society, and members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to continue countering the scourge of antisemitism," Jean-Pierre said.

The announcement comes after the White House condemned former President Trump for hosting Kanye West and white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago last month.

Fuentes, a white nationalist, has a history of making racist remarks and engaging in Holocaust revisionism — though he has claimed that he does not deny the Holocaust. Ye has also faced criticism for making antisemitic remarks. 

"Bigotry, hate, and antisemitism have absolutely no place in America — including at Mar-a-Lago," White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement. 

"Holocaust denial is repugnant and dangerous, and it must be forcefully condemned," Bates said.

Trump, in an interview with Fox News last month, said he did not know Fuentes, and said had Fuentes expressed his views during their "very quick dinner," it "wouldn't have been accepted."

"I had never heard of the man — I had no idea what his views were, and they weren’t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn't have been accepted," Trump said.

Greg Gutfeld: The 'Twitter files' reveal a stunning lack of ideological diversity

Fox News' Greg Gutfeld said Twitter's censorship was limited to one side of the ideological spectrum Monday on "The Five." 

GREG GUTFELD: We talked about this about four or five years ago; there are the three horsemen of the liberal apocalypse. They control arts, the media, [and] academia. Naturally, they were going to capture the fourth which is social media. What Musk is doing right now, he's the canary in a coal mine basically saying look, this Twitter dump is not against the law. It’s reflecting the biases that you find everywhere. It's never about the policy. It's about the people. If everyone that works at Twitter is a liberal, then they’ll only see what is threatening to them and not threatening to what we believe is threatening, right? This is a consequence again of stamping out ideological diversity. So, it’s funny. When you saw the untalented hacks on "Morning Joe" laughing about that, you can see the mirror and what we have seen that we find – we were looking at the January 6 coverage as hysterical. 

TWITTER FILES REVEAL TRUMP BAN CAME AFTER MICHELLE OBAMA, OTHERS PRESSURED THE COMPANY

There's almost a parallel here. I look at this kind of like the way they laugh at the right when we talk about the state of public education for kids. We don’t want drag queen story hour, right? We don’t want sex ed from activists. We don’t want – Balenciaga was weird. They will laugh at that and go – the thing is they’re coming through an ideological spectrum in which that stuff doesn’t matter. And if you cover those stories, you’re a scab. That’s what you’re seeing right now. What Musk is trying to say is you need a balance of diversity – even if it’s just two ideas, left and right. What you saw is another example of when the left takes over something, all bias goes out the window. They actually believe we’re Nazis. You can’t say – they don’t think they’re doing anything illegal. They think that they're right. They think that we’re really bad people. So, that’s why they did this, and if they had other people like us at Twitter, that never would happen.
