Congressman García Condemns Disgusting Display of Antisemitism in his District

CHICAGO—Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García issued the following statement condemning the antisemitic leaflet distributed in his district:

“This morning, I was alerted to antisemitic leaflets distributed at residences in my district. I condemn this disgusting display of antisemitism. My Jewish constituents deserve to live in safety and without fear of intimidation or violence.

“The leaflets draw on deeply rooted conspiracy theories about government influence by listing Jewish members of the Biden administration.

“They appear to have been distributed by the Goyim Defense League—a group with the stated goal of expelling all Jews from the US. They distribute similar leaflets across the country and run an interactive online network that berates viewers, often children, then incites them to participate in antisemitic, anti-Black, and anti-LGBTQ hate.

“We must confront the real and rising danger of antisemitism in our communities.”
