Statement of Danny K. Davis on anti-Semitism

03/05/18
Recently the ultra-right propaganda site The Daily Caller attempted to impugn my character, and more significantly divide and separate African Americans and Jewish Americans, by portraying me as sympathetic to anti-Semitic views.  This smear was picked up and rebroadcast by the Republican National Committee.   
 
Nothing could be further from the truth.  I have a lifetime record of rejecting, condemning and actively opposing all forms of hatred, bigotry and separatism based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability or language including specifically anti-Semitism.  Such views are antithetical to everything I believe and everything that I work for on a daily basis.  
 
History is replete with the horrific consequences of racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, Islamophobia, male chauvinism and other forms of hatred and bigotry and discrimination.  Those who promote these views are pursuing an agenda which I will never accept.  I continue to devote myself to building a world where such views are scorned and where all people are recognized and valued as equals and full, respected participants in a global society.
