UPDATE Oct. 16: Colorado state Rep. Tim Hernández issued a video statement Oct. 13 explicitly denouncing Hamas’ terrorist attacks in Israel. “I condemn Hamas and their attack on innocent Israelis but it has resulted in the deaths and murders of Israeli folks, Palestinian folks, Arabs, Americans and so many others. People who are harmed and suffering deserve our respect, and I have to apologize for the way that I caused harm by not making that explicitly clear. I got here because of my choices and because I wasn’t engaged with impacted community members,” Hernandez said in a video posted on social media.
