Clarke | C001067 | clarke.house.gov | clarke | https://clarke.house.gov/category/press-release/ | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 8, 2024 MEDIA CONTACT: e: jessica.myers@mail.house.gov c: 202.913.0126 Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) issued the following statement regarding racist text messages sent to Black Americans nationwide in recent days: “It has been just over two days since we received the results of the 2024 Presidential Election, and now we have witnessed vile text messages sent en masse to primarily Black youths all across our country. “I am outraged by this attack. For countless Black Americans to be bombarded with threatening and dehumanizing text messages is not only a grave danger to young people at this vulnerable moment for our nation, but an affront and insult to our common humanity. Within our traditional and new media spaces, in our communities, and even in our government, hate continues to be emboldened to a disturbing degree. “We must not stand idly by as racism and bigotry become even more pervasive and further normalized in America. I urge a full investigation into the source of these despicable messages and call for the perpetrators of this hateful scheme to be held accountable for their actions.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z |
