“We are horrified by the homophobic and racist violent hate crime against Jussie Smollett last night in Chicago. This hatred is unconscionable, and we must combat bigotry wherever it rears its head—whether that’s in our schools, over the dinner table, or from the White House. Every day evil goes unchallenged, those who wish to do harm to people of color or the LGBTQ community become emboldened—and we all become less safe.”
