The Democratic Speaker of the House Julie McCluskie and Majority Leader Monica Duran also released a statement saying they've spoken with Hernandez and are "deeply disappointed that when there was doubt, he chose not to explicitly condemn the violent Hamas terrorist attacks" calling them an "atrocity that demands unequivocal condemnation."
McCluskie and Duran say they "stand with the people of Israel and the Jewish community in Colorado."
