Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel skipped her party’s convention Saturday after saying she feared being booed, harassed and chased over her support for Israel — amid warnings of tense clashes over the Middle East.
“I don’t feel safe going,” Nessel, who is Jewish, warned late last month.
“I feel like my presence is not going to be welcomed. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying. And I believe that if I go, that is what will happen because it’s been happening to me.”
Nessel cited a rise in antisemitism on the left and growth of far-right elements in advance of the party gathering.
Her decision came as Michigan Democrats took extraordinary security precautions for the convention following a rowdy April gathering and growing tensions over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
A slate of party leaders signed a letter this week warning delegates against “disruptive behavior,” while a party email sent Aug. 26 threatened “zero tolerance and immediate ejection” for anyone violating its code of conduct.
Among the signers was US Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who campaigned in part by slamming Israel.
The party also beefed up security, including law enforcement officers, entrance screening and security personnel throughout the venue, the Detroit News reported.
“Our Democratic ticket stands united on this — the rules will be enforced, without exception,” party leaders said.

such a shame....meanwhile she pushed and advocated for many of the policies that have led to this...
sorry, not sorry....
Who could be in a better position to put a stop to the harassing and chasing than the attorney general.
Does she produce images in mirrors as she passes by?
And yet, she remains a Democrat
She ran & was elected during the #MeeToo movement, which she played up to get elected. So of course she sees potential harassers everywhere.
Nessel is a weird woman.
Sorry, Dana.
Around about 70% of American Jews are democrat. Around 80% of American Jews vote democrat.
The democrats are 70% against Jews. The democrat socialists of America are over 80% against Jews.
Please please. Do not vote for your own destruction. Again.
Marx was Jewish, or he was not. Hitler was a little Jewish, or he was not.
American Jews are voting for and supporting islamists.
As Charlie Kirk said, “Prove me wrong”.
Earth to Dana: You are a member of a political party that wants to exterminate you.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
30% of Jews who voted in last November’s mayoral race in NYChitty voted for- wait for it now- ayatollah mamdani...
RE: Does she produce images in mirrors as she passes by?
Or, like the monster woman in the James Wan movie Lights Out, invisible with the lights on, seen if the lights are off.

“the rules will be enforced, without exception,” party leaders said.”
Like hell they will.

NO commie Dem will be allowed to run for President in 2028 unless they come out hating Jews and denouncing Israel
These numbers hurt my brain and my spirit. They vote for the golden calf. The serpent.
Walking around seeking whom to devour.
If she’s smart and has any common sense, she’ll leave the rat party while she still can.
Democrat Jews are wannabe Jews. THey are Bolsheviks first and last.
The genuine Jews fearlessly proclaim the state of Israel and its state of Liberty.
Even inside Israel they have to battle these fake Jews.
No, but the whiff of sulfur is unmistakable.
I think at this point she has demonstrated she has neither
And yet, at this point not only does she stay as a democrat, she’s trying to share the blame of leftist Jew haters on conservatives. What a stinking pant load. And no one will question her on it
I won’t say that she deserves what she may get. But I will say she deserves very little sympathy if she does get it. I can’t believe the crap that the right goes through defending Jews and Israel and then gets blamed for this stuff by liberal Jews. It’s infuriating
I have a woman in law, who is Jewish and I have no desire to have any contact with her. Mostly because she is simply insufferably annoying. But also because like American leftist jews, she unwaveringly supports Jew haters because they’re Democrats. And as far as I can tell thinks that everyone on the right hates Jews.
I’m done with this crap
Bolshevik-Menshevik (minority vs majority)
You can vote for any style of communism you like. Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Marx.
You have choices. Pick one. Pick all.
