LANSING — Following an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal this weekend that spread deeply disturbing and hateful commentary about Dearborn, Michigan, the Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes released the following statement:
“The Murdoch Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of the disgusting and dangerous language it chose to spread over the weekend. Dearborn is an incredible community that represents the strength of Michiganders everywhere. This type of bigoted rhetoric puts our Muslim and Arab Neighbors at risk, and we at the Michigan Democratic Party condemn it in the strongest possible terms. Hate and racism have no place in Michigan, and we stand firmly in solidarity with our Arab and Muslim communities.”
