NY assemblyman slams fellow Dems for silence over "anti-semitic" LeBron James post

Hikind charged that James might have had second thoughts before posting the anti-Jewish lyric if fellow elected officials spoke out more forcefully about anti-Semitism.

“Once again, I call on fellow Democrats to open their mouths. So far, there’s been no outcry—just a whimper. If these slurs came from the political Right, they’d be tagged for what they are: classical anti-Semitism without even the smokescreen of an anti-Israel agenda. Wake up, fellow Democrats. We need one standard for everyone. As Dr. Martin Luther King warned us, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,’” Hikind wrote on Facebook.
