Congresswoman Kendra Horn issues the following statement: I am heartbroken and angered by the racist and anti-Semitic actions that defaced today's Oklahoma City University graduation ceremony. It is especially tragic that this hate-filled attack marred a day meant for celebration, a day already made harder by the inability to gather in person due to the COVID-19 crisis. This type of hate crime serves as a potent reminder that we still have much work to do. Hate lays the groundwork for violence and we must stand together against it. To heal these deep wounds, we must look with unflinching honesty at the sources of extremism, acknowledge and learn from our past, listen to each other, and share our experiences. We cannot, nor will we, turn a blind eye to this behavior. We are stronger when the diversity of our communities is celebrated. Let me be clear - racism must not be tolerated in our community. We must hold those responsible accountable and confront racism wherever it exists. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
