AUSTIN – Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick made the following statement regarding widespread anti-Semitic vandalism in a North Side San Antonio Jewish community:

“Today’s discovery of racially-targeted and anti-Semitic vandalism in a San Antonio Jewish community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in Texas.

“This criminal and cowardice act has no place in any Texas community. I denounce the religious persecution that has taken place and I am confident the San Antonio Police Department will find those responsible for the delinquency and hold them accountable.”
