Dem AG Warns Jewish Democrats Are Being Pushed Out of the Party: ‘Off Putting and Offensive’
Nessel said Jewish Democrats are treated worse than other minorities as party leaders rally around far-left Israel critics.
- On Saturday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel skipped the Michigan Democratic Party's nominating convention at the Lansing Center, citing safety fears from pro-Palestinian activists and a pattern of harassment targeting her.
- Her absence follows disruptions at the April convention where pro-Israel speakers, including U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, were shouted down by anti-Israel activists during party proceedings.
- Nessel has criticized Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed for describing Israel's military campaign in Gaza as "genocide" and for comments after a March synagogue attack that she said excused violence against children.
- Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Derrick Honeyman stated the party rejects hateful conduct, yet Rabbi Asher Lopatin said many Jewish community members remain "traumatized" by previous convention experiences and treatment.
- This internal rift threatens to alienate Jewish voters in Michigan, a critical battleground state, with some leaders circulating an open letter urging support for Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers amid what they call an "anti-Jewish drift.
