Washington, DC – Today, 21 U.S. House of Representative Members released the following statement in response to criticism of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s handling of antisemitic campus crimes:

“Dana Nessel has distinguished herself as a just, discerning, and effective Attorney General. Michigan voters selected her to keep all communities safe, empowering her to faithfully exercise discretion and enforce the law.”

“That’s exactly what she has done in the cases of anti-Israel campus protesters as well as counter-protestors accused of violent acts that go far beyond protected speech. Those charged with criminal conduct will enjoy the same rights of due process as anyone else. Casting doubt on Attorney General Nessel’s impartiality or implying these cases are being handled unfairly due to her religious background is antisemitic, deeply disturbing, and unacceptable.”

“Elected officials are rightfully held to high standards, but we owe it to our constituents to model methods of disagreement that do not invoke hateful tropes or false charges of unfair bias.”

Among the Members signing the statement were U.S. Reps. Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-15), Haley Stevens (MI-11), Elissa Slotkin (MI-07), Hillary Scholten (MI-03), Shri Thanedar (MI-13), Brad Schneider (IL-10), Lois Frankel (FL-22), Daniel Goldman (NY-10), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), Greg Landsman (OH-01), Kathy Manning (NC-06), Norma J. Torres (CA-35), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Ritchie Torres, (NY-15), Juan Vargas (CA-52), Tom Suozzi (NY-07), Susie Lee, (NV-03), Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), Steve Cohen (TN-09) and Donald Norcross (NJ-01).
