Nadler Statement on Sergei Ratushniak

Washington, D.C - Today. Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) issued the following statement:

"According to reports I've read, Sergei Ratushniak is nothing more than an ignorant thug who uses anti-Semitism, fear mongering and hatred for personal and political opportunity. In other words, he is a classic anti-Semite of the most pathetic variety. Today's Ukraine is an important ally of the United States, a hardworking nation [hat has made great strides in recent decades toward joining the world community, and Ratushniak's policies of hate have no place there. I stand in solidarity with the Jews of Uzhgorod and Ukraine, and with all Ukrainians who fight against bigotry. ] join people of conscience around the world in saying that we will not tolerate the likes of Sergei Ratushniak and his hateful brethren.”
