A White House spokesman condemned the words of 20-year-old Khymani James, who said during a disciplinary hearing in January that “Zionists don’t deserve to live” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

“These dangerous, appalling statements turn the stomach and should serve as a wakeup call,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement confirmed by the Washington Examiner. “It is hideous to advocate for the murder of Jews. President Biden has been clear that violent rhetoric, hate speech, and Antisemitic remarks have no place in America whatsoever, and he will always stand against them.”
