Jewish Dems applaud the Senate for unanimously confirming Dr. Deborah Lipstadt to serve as U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism with the rank of Ambassador. Ambassador Lipstadt's experience and qualifications are unparalleled, and Jewish Dems have advocated for her confirmation since President Biden nominated her in July 2021. We thank the Senate for confirming Ambassador Lipstadt and sending a clear message that antisemitism has no place in the U.S. or around the world.
Republicans sabotaged her confirmation for eight months and blocked hearings for Ambassador Lipstadt. Republicans played politics with antisemitism and callously put the Jewish community in danger. We are proud that the strong advocacy of Jewish Dems, along with many other organizations, finally overcame Republican obstruction and that Ambassador Lipstadt will serve in this vital role.
Sign here to thank President Biden and Senate Democrats for their leadership in ensuring Ambassador Lipstadt's confirmation, and express your disappointment to Senate Republicans who held up the process.
