US Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff on Monday joined in on the condemnation of recent anti-Semitic attacks in the US.
“The horrific rise in anti-Semitic attacks against the Jewish community is reprehensible. Acts of hatred have no place in our society,” tweeted Emhoff.
“We must stand together and reject hate and bigotry in all its forms,” he added.
Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, is Jewish.
Earlier on Monday, President Joe Biden condemned the anti-Semitic attacks which have been perpetrated across the United States over the past two weeks.
"The recent attacks on the Jewish community are despicable, and they must stop. I condemn this hateful behavior at home and abroad — it’s up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor," he tweeted.
Biden was followed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is also Jewish and who condemned the anti-Semitism.
“When hateful ideology rises, violence is never far behind. I join President Biden in condemning anti-Semitic attacks at home and around the world. We have a responsibility to do everything we can to stop hate in all its forms,” tweeted Blinken.
