Georgia leaders voice concern over antisemitic demonstrations outside 2 synagogues

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and other state leaders have spoken out against bigotry and hate after antisemitic demonstrations took place outside two synagogues in the state this weekend.

Groups were observed yelling antisemitic messages outside a Macon temple Friday night and displaying swastikas and signs with neo-Nazi messages outside a Cobb County synagogue on Saturday.

Antisemitic flyers were also discovered in at least one central Georgia community.

“There is absolutely no place for this hate and antisemitism in our state,” Kemp said in a tweet Sunday. “I share in the outrage over this shameful act and stand with Georgians everywhere in condemning it. We remain vigilant in the face of these disgusting acts of bigotry.”
