Colorado Democrats are facing criticism for leading a fundraiser with Rep. Ilhan Omar less than an hour after Sunday's antisemitic terrorist attack in which 12 people were hurt, including a Holocaust survivor.The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is facing federal hate crime charges and numerous state-level attempted murder charges for using incendiary devices to burn people who were rallying for the release of hostages held by the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza. Soliman was in the country illegally after overstaying his visa and work authorization, according to authorities.About 30 minutes later in nearby Denver, there was a "private reception" with Omar, who has been a major critic of Israel, with many other Democrats listed as the hosts. Ticket prices ranged from $500 to $7,000.RISE IN ANTISEMITIC EXTREMISM FUELS WAVE OF TERROR PLOTS IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 2020"Colorado Democrats who raise money for a notorious anti-Semite should be ashamed of themselves for ever doing so, but doing it while victims of the latest wave of anti-Semitic violence were en route to the hospital is even more hypocritical and reprehensible," Colorado House Minority Caucus Chair Rep. Anthony Hartsook, a Republican, said in a statement on Monday."Just last year, House Democrats turned away families of Israeli hostages, denying them access to the House floor for fear that House Democrats' own radical members might cause a scene. Enough is enough. We must speak loudly and clearly against extremists who justify violence against Jewish communities worldwide. There is no place for anti-Semitism in Colorado," Harstook added.In the aftermath of the attack, Omar posted on X, "Violence against all forms is never acceptable. We must reject hatred and harm in all its forms."'SQUAD' MEMBERS CONDEMN ANTISEMITIC ATTACK IN BOULDER AFTER YEARS OF CONTROVERSYRep.

I unequivocally condemn hate and violence in all formsincluding antisemitism and Islamophobia," Joseph said in an email to Fox News Digital."Ive heard concerns about my attendance at a private event for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. I was originally invited to introduce her at a Young Democrats event focused on youth engagementsomething I care deeply about. When she was unable to attend, I chose to welcome her at a separate gathering, as a matter of courtesy and civic respect," she continued.HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR AMONG VICTIMS IN BOULDER, COLORADO SUSPECTED TERROR ATTACK"Attending that event was not an endorsement of any particular policy or comment. It was an extension of my role as a public servant who believes in dialogue, inclusion, and maintaining open lines of communicationeven when views differ.""Condemning antisemitism and supporting peace, dignity, and human rights for allincluding Israelis and Palestiniansare not mutually exclusive. I believe both are essential to a just and compassionate society," Joseph further stated. "These are difficult times, and I remain committed to listening, learning, and leading with carefor all members of our communityJewish, Muslim, and beyond."Fox News Digital reached out to Omars campaign for comment.

Rand Paul, who told the media Monday that the bill will raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion."We have never raised the debt ceiling without actually meeting that target," he said Monday, Fox Digital previously reported. "So you can say it doesn't directly add to the debt, but if you increase the ceiling $5 trillion, you'll meet that. And what it does is it puts it off the back-burner. And then we won't discuss it for a year or two."WH STUDY WARNS 9 MILLION AMERICANS COULD LOSE HEALTH INSURANCE IN 'MAJOR' RECESSION IF TRUMP BUDGET BILL FAILSTrump admonished Paul over the weekend as rhetoric mounted that the Republican senator would not support the legislation, arguing Paul was on the verge of siding with the "Radical Left Democrats" and encouraging a 68% tax hike on Americans if he votes against the bill."Rand will be playing right into the hands of the Democrats, and the GREAT people of Kentucky will never forgive him! The GROWTH we are experiencing, plus some cost cutting later on, will solve ALL problems. America will be greater than ever before!"

Mike Rounds told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California Friday that the Senate must pass the legislation or American families will pay higher taxes."We don't have a choice. We have to pass the bill to get the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act back in place on a permanent basis," he said. "If we don't do that, the average American family is going to see about a $2,400-a-year increase in their taxes. So we have to do something. And it's critical that we pass this bill. We're going to work with the House. We're going to get this deal done. The Senate will put their mark of approval on it, but nonetheless, we want to do everything we can as quickly as we can to take care of this so that we can get on to other things. The president has made it very clear he wants to get this done. We want to help in that regard. This is our job."
