SACRAMENTO – Today, California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson issued the following statement on the conclusion of the California Democratic Party’s Fall Endorsing Convention: 

“The California Democrats’ convention was an embarrassment for their party and an insult to the Jewish community. It should not have taken until the next day for state party leaders to condemn the vile and dangerous protests that shut down their event. And we should not still be waiting on Democrat leaders like Gavin Newsom to speak out against yesterday’s pro-Hamas display from within his own party. The Republican Party stands firmly with Israel and against all forms of antisemitism. It would be great if California Democrats could unequivocally join us.”
