RELEASE: REP. JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON SENTENCING OF ROBERT LEMKE
BROOKLYN, NY – In connection with the sentencing of Robert Lemke, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) issued the following statement:
“The rule of law must be upheld in America without fear or favor. I thank the Department of Justice, the FBI, U.S. Capitol Police, NYPD and all law enforcement authorities involved for taking these violent threats against journalists, public officials, and most importantly, our families, seriously. In a democracy, there is no place for violent discourse or behavior. We can disagree with each other without being disagreeable.”
