The attorney general of Michigan—the person who runs law enforcement in one of the two or three states that decides who wins the White House—says she won't walk into her own party’s nominating convention this month. Dana Nessel isn’t citing a scheduling conflict. She says she doesn’t feel safe.
“The threats that I receive are almost exclusively anti-Semitic threats,” she says. “People aren’t interested in the fact that I’m gay. They’re not interested in the fact that I’m a woman. It’s just been getting worse and worse and worse.”
A Democratic statewide official is telling you she'll to be chased, harassed, and shouted off stage by Democrats—and not for a vote or policy. But who she is. How the f*k are we not horrified by this? How's this become remotely acceptable in the Democratic Party--to where it's indistinguishable from Tucker Carlson?
Two more questions: How would we respond if a GOP statewide official announced they were too afraid of their own base to attend their convention, based on identity not politics? And how'd we react if a Democratic official were scared to attend for any other reason of identity: because she's gay? A woman? Black? You know the answer. For those pretending antisemitism is not a serious problem in the party, reflect on this.
