WASHINGTON — Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., announced Wednesday that he is renouncing his membership in the Democratic Socialists of America after the left-wing group promoted a pro-Palestinian rally a day after Hamas' deadly terrorist attack on Israel. In a statement, the first-term lawmaker cited what he called a 'hate-filled and antisemitic rally in New York City' that has also been condemned by other progressives in Congress.
Jamaal Bowman, a fellow New York Democrat, also chastised rallygoers, saying on X: 'I am shocked and disgusted by the rally held here in NY this weekend celebrating death or attacks on civilians and showing swastikas. I condemn any demonstration that does this in the strongest possible terms. We must proceed on the basis of recognizing our shared humanity.
