Following the release of a statement from North Carolina Democratic Party Jewish Caucus Chair Lisa Jewel, Democratic Majority Board Chair and former U.S. Representative Kathy Manning (NC-06) issued the following statement:
“DMFI unequivocally stands with the Jewish Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party. Time and time again, the Jewish Caucus of North Carolina has attempted to unify and collaborate with the leadership of the North Carolina Democratic Party, which seems unwilling or unable to reciprocate. Instead, Party Chair Anderson Clayton and First Vice Chair Jonah Garson have continued to tolerate extreme anti-Israel rhetoric and antisemitism from within the party on social media, in executive committee meetings, and even in the exclusion of Jewish members from Interfaith Caucus meetings.”
“DMFI condemns the continued tolerance of bad faith actors within the NCDP, and we stand with the Jewish Caucus in urging all members of the NCDP State Executive Committee to vote for unity tomorrow.”
