Hillary Scholten
Role at the time: U.S. representative for Michigan's Third Congressional District, issuing an official statement
Responding to
Hasan Piker’s remarks about American Jews, Israel, and antisemitic violence
"It's dangerous for everyone. […] It has no place in Michigan, and no place in our country."
Why we used this label
The official release explicitly rejects the specific remarks, characterizes them as dangerous and calls for public condemnation.
