Attorney General Dana Nessel told Jewish Democrats to set aside their own interests and prioritize vague global concerns, invoking religious rhetoric and criticizing Republicans while ignoring real threats facing her community.
Attorney General Dana Nessel addressed a private meeting of the Michigan Democratic Party's Jewish Caucus in Birmingham on Aug. 30, urging Jewish Democrats to focus on so-called 'broader implications' of the November election instead of their own interests. Nessel, who is Jewish, insisted that the group has a 'moral imperative' to put the needs of the world above their own, echoing the globalist talking points that have come to dominate the far-left wing of the Democratic Party.
She referenced the biblical story of Queen Esther, suggesting that Jewish voters today should be willing to sacrifice their comfort, safety, and security for some ill-defined opportunity to 'save the rest of humanity.' Nessel’s question—'Come November, what do your Jewish values tell you to do?'—was a clear attempt to guilt attendees into supporting the party’s radical agenda.
Nessel acknowledged the growing rift within the Democratic Party, as some candidates have openly criticized Israel, America’s strongest ally in the Middle East. She warned that it is 'so easy to hate people right now, especially other Democrats who seem to have thrown us under the bus,' highlighting the party’s internal chaos and lack of unity.
The event, which barred media, also featured Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who was forced to apologize for a previous statement following an anti-Semitic attack on a Michigan synagogue. El-Sayed’s apology came only after backlash, raising questions about the sincerity of his views and his connections to far-left figures like Hasan Piker, who has a history of anti-Israel rhetoric. Local activist Michelle Zukowski-Serlin refused to support El-Sayed, citing his lack of support for Israel as a Jewish state.
Nessel, who cannot seek re-election due to term limits, used the event to attack Republicans, accusing them of focusing on issues like transgender athletes in junior varsity sports and labeling them as supporters of 'selfishness and blind obedience to the world’s biggest and most dangerous fool.' She attempted to tie Republican positions to global issues like climate change and wealth inequality, ignoring the real concerns of Michigan voters.
Nessel did not attend the state Democratic Party convention that weekend, citing 'safety concerns,' a move that raises questions about the party’s ability to protect its own leaders while lecturing others on global priorities.
