Harassment of California State Sen. Scott Wiener
SACRAMENTO, California –The California Legislative Jewish Caucus released the following statement regarding the physical intimidation and harassment of Senator Scott Wiener on June 26:
“The ongoing harassment directed at Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) is unacceptable and must be called out for what it is: antisemitism. Senator Wiener, a proud champion of the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities, was targeted while participating in a Pride Shabbat in connection with the Trans March. This was the latest in a series of hateful incidents targeting Senator Wiener that are part of a broader effort to exclude, isolate, and ostracize him because of his Jewish identity.
All Californians – including members of the Jewish community – must be able to safely and fully participate in civil life and our democratic process. Hate has no home in California.”
