His remarks also referred to a recent Trump administration post featuring a Sikh man identified as “Mr Singh” and telling him to “get off our roads” and “self-deport”.
Krishnamoorthi said he was “horrified” by the attack on the truck driver, who was stabbed 17 times at a rest stop in Wyoming. He added that Americans should stand against both hate and violence.
“Those spreading this hate, including officials in our own federal government, need to stop. Those who turn it into violence must be held accountable,” the Democratic congressman said in a post on X.
