Crapo, Risch, Rubio Demand Attorney General Investigate Pro-Hamas Vandalization of Veterans Cemetery

Washington, D.C.--U.S. Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), and Marco Rubio (R-Florida) wrote U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to investigate the pro-Hamas criminals who disgracefully and illegally vandalized the Los Angeles National Cemetery, where more than 80,000 veterans are buried.  The words “INTIFADA” and “FREE GAZA” were found spray-painted on the grounds of the cemetery.

“The men and women who serve in the U.S. military exemplify the sacrifice, determination, and bravery that all Americans should strive for,” wrote the Senators.  “Like those currently serving in our military, the veterans buried at the Los Angeles National Cemetery fought to protect the fundamental rights of all Americans in countless wars, even the rights of Americans who lack the moral clarity to condemn terrorism.”

Joining Risch, Crapo and Rubio were Senators Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), Mike Braun (R-Indiana), Rick Scott (R-Florida), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), John Hoeven (R-North Dakota), Ted Budd (R-North Carolina), Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), Steve Daines (R-Montana), Deb Fischer (R-Nebraska), Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi) and Susan Collins (R-Maine).
