The Wisconsin Green Party Coordinating Council was dismayed by the actions of Cynthia McKinney, former Democratic U.S. House Member from 1993 to 2003 and 2008 Green Party presidential nominee, who on the morning of September 11 promoted an event hosted in part by white supremacist David Duke which characterized Jewish people as a “common enemy.”

In no uncertain terms, the Wisconsin Green Party condemns this event, its organizers, its promoters, and the vile hatred at its core.

The Wisconsin Green Party, as part of the Green Party of the United States, holds respect for diversity and anti-racism as a core value. Cynthia McKinney has no current relationship or affiliation with the Wisconsin Green Party or the Green Party of the United States, and has not for years. We condemn her promotion of this event and call on all parties and organizations, including the Democratic Party with whom she served for a decade as a US House Representative, to do the same.
