NINTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OFFICE VANDALIZED WITH ANTI-SEMITIC SLOGANS

CHICAGO, IL - The district office of the people of Illinois' 9th Congressional District was vandalized with an anti-Semitic slogan on Monday night. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) issued the following statement.

"Acts of hate directed against Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims or any other group or person in this country are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I am proud to represent one of the most ethnically diverse districts in America. The diversity and tolerance in our district is symbolic of what our nation should be. We will not be silent whenever hatred shows its ugly face," Schakowsky said.
