Dina Titus Refuses to Condemn Antisemitic Attack in Colorado, Votes ‘Present’ on Commonsense Resolution

Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus is under fire after refusing to vote in support of a resolution condemning a horrific antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. Rather than voting for or against the resolution introduced by freshman Republican Congressman Gabe Evans of Colorado, Titus opted to vote “present,” effectively taking no position on the matter.

The resolution, which passed the House with broad Republican support and a handful of Democratic votes, denounced antisemitism, expressed support for law enforcement, and criticized Colorado’s sanctuary state law. It also acknowledged that the suspect in the Boulder attack, who reportedly targeted a Jewish community center, was in the country illegally and had previously avoided deportation due to the state’s sanctuary policies.

According to multiple reports, several Democrats objected to the inclusion of the attacker’s immigration status in the text of the resolution, arguing that it politicized the tragedy. But for many observers, including Republicans and members of the Jewish community, the refusal to even vote for a measure condemning antisemitic violence sent a deeply troubling message.

“Dina Titus just sided with terrorists over cops and couldn’t even bring herself to condemn antisemitism,” said NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez. “She is officially a member of the antisemite and cop-hating caucus.”

Critics argue that Titus’s vote reflects a broader problem within the Democratic Party, where concern over progressive orthodoxy often overrides common sense and public safety.

“This shouldn’t be controversial,” Republican strategist Josh Holmes said on X (formerly Twitter).

The attack in Boulder has rattled communities across Colorado and beyond. According to authorities, the terrorist had been previously arrested but was shielded from deportation under Colorado’s sanctuary laws. He is alleged to have intentionally targeted a synagogue in Boulder, injuring multiple congregants before being apprehended by local law enforcement.

Congressman Gabe Evans, a former law enforcement officer himself, emphasized the importance of addressing both the ideology behind the attack and the public policies that allowed the perpetrator to remain in the country.

“This resolution is about standing up to hate and protecting our communities,” Evans said on the House floor. “We can’t ignore the facts simply because they’re politically inconvenient.”

Titus has not released a statement explaining her decision to abstain from voting. As antisemitic incidents continue to rise across the country, political observers say moments like this could have lasting implications both for public trust and for Titus’s political future.
