New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft reportedly met with second gentleman Doug Emhoff and civil rights leader Clarence Jones to discuss antisemitism and ways to deter bias toward the Jewish and Black communities.

The group met in Massachusetts and also "emphasized the urgent need to address antisemitic language and harassment," Bloomberg reported, citing a White House statement. Emhoff reportedly toured the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and learned about how it monitors online hate speech.

Kraft’s foundation has been at the forefront of the fight against antisemitism — amplified further by the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel. The organization also had an ad during the Super Bowl.

"Antisemitism is a growing threat against Jews on social media and in communities across the country," Kraft says on the organization’s website. "I have committed tremendous resources toward this effort and am vowing to do more. I encourage others to join in these efforts. 

"My hope is our campaign will continue to enhance the national conversation about the need to speak out against hatred of all types, and particularly to stand up to Jewish hate."

Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, told officials at the World Economic Forum in January about the painful experiences American Jews have dealt with in the wake of the terror attacks.
