About this source
Official House press release explicitly condemning Piker's comments about American Jews and his naming of Jeremy Moss. August 24 is the displayed release date; 12:00 UTC is a date-only placeholder and the actual posting time is unknown. The release's characterization of Piker is Scholten's position, not an independent DI finding about intent.
Before the quotation
Scholten's official House release responds to Piker's discussion of American Jews who support Israel and his on-screen reference to Michigan politician Jeremy Moss.
After the quotation
The bracketed ellipsis omits a sentence urging others to condemn the rhetoric; the retained words are verbatim. Scholten's characterization of Piker's intent remains her position, not a DI determination. August 24 at 12:00 UTC represents the release date only; actual posting time is unknown. This is older material newly added to the record, not a September 10 response.
How this statement is classified
The official release explicitly rejects the specific remarks, characterizes them as dangerous and calls for public condemnation.
