Adrian Huizenga stood on Thursday afternoon outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., where less than 24 hours earlier, a couple—Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim—were fatally shot.
“It’s just so sad, just heartbreaking that … you see this rhetoric and this antisemitic violence going on that is very clearly targeting Jewish people,” Huizenga, 26, who knew Milgrim in a work context as young professionals in Washington, told The Daily Signal.
“We as a country should all be able to stand against this kind of violence and hate,” Huizenga said at a gathering outside the museum Thursday afternoon honoring Lischinsky, 30, and Milgrim, 26.
Speaking as a Christian, Huizenga said, “I love Jesus, and Jesus was Jewish, and so the Jewish people are a really important part of my Christian faith.”
