Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released the below statement:

"Louis Farrakhan's recent anti-Semitic rants are nothing new; he has long spread such hateful views.

"As public leaders and elected officials, we have a moral responsibility to call out and condemn all who promote hatred and division, no matter who they are. We must send a clear message that those who traffic in bigotry, intolerance, and racism, such as Farrakhan, have no place in our national discourse."
