"Three #progressive leaders in #Colorado are criticizing #democraticsocialist #MelatKiros, who is running to represent the 1st #Congressional District in #Denver, for refusing days before the #primary #election to call the deadly #firebombing attack last year on a #Jewish community rally in #Boulder #antisemitic.

One of the leaders is a state representative who has endorsed #Kiros.

Kiros’ comments and the criticism come as the 29-year-old first-time political #candidate appears to be on the cusp of unseating #Democratic #US Rep. #DianaDeGette amid a wave of discontent with Democratic incumbents.

“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said in a recent interview with 9News."
