My response to the videos circulating online of white supremacists rallying on Danbury:

The videos circulating online of white supremacists rallying in Danbury are horrifying. This vile demonstration serves as a grim reminder that racism is not a problem of the past or confined to other places—it exists right here and is deeply traumatic for everyone who calls Danbury and Connecticut home. Hatred has no place in our communities, and we must confront it at every opportunity. While some may attempt to instill fear, we will not be deterred.
In this moment, I am reminded of a quote, “There are two types of evil people in this world: those who commit evil acts, and those who witness evil and do nothing to stop it.” We stand firm in our commitment that the diversity makes our communities stronger and should be celebrated.
I am in close communication with local leaders and will continue to assist in any way I can.
