Michigan AG Dana Nessel to Skip Democratic Convention over Antisemitism Fears
She said rising antisemitism and past harassment make her fear attending the party convention, after an ADL roundtable on hate crimes.
- On Thursday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced she will skip the state Democratic Party convention next month, citing safety fears stemming from antisemitism within her own party.
- Nessel expects to be "yelled and screamed at" or "booed off the stage" if she attends, referencing past incidents where party members booed other Jewish Democrats at events.
- She stressed that threats she receives are "almost exclusively antisemitic" rather than related to gender or sexual orientation, expressing "profound fears" about political discourse.
- Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Derrick Honeyman stated the party is working to ensure the August 29 convention at the Lansing Center remains "safe and secure" for all attendees.
- Elyssa Schmier, regional director for ADL Michigan, called it concerning that a top official feels unsafe as Nessel concludes her eight-year tenure at the end of December.
