“It’s heartbreaking to see protesters openly supporting violence and chanting hate in our backyard,” Evans told Chicago City Wire. “However, I believe that most of these agitators are being brought into Chicago from elsewhere; the citizens of Illinois are kind and open-minded people who do not harbor any antisemitic beliefs.”
Evans expressed his disappointment with President Biden's acknowledgment of the protesters during his DNC speech by saying, Those protesters out in the street, they have a point.
“It does not matter what your political ideology is; every decent person should denounce all forms of violence and intimidation,” said Evans.
Evans is also urging his opponent, Democratic Congressman Bill Foster, to take a stand. “My opponent, Bill Foster, has yet to denounce the violent protesters and stand by our Jewish community here in Illinois,” Evans said. “I call on him to immediately condemn the violent agitators who are destroying downtown Chicago.”
Evans also called for legal consequences for those involved in the protests. “Anyone who breaks the law, including what we are seeing this week in downtown Chicago, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” he said. “Unfortunately, the media refuses to cover the violence and disgusting behavior of the violent protestors outside the DNC Convention.”
