A new post by Haley Stevens on X. It reads: Truth Over Political Convenience The votes have been counted. The results are in. For me, living my beliefs was never measured by who would win at the ballot box. As a woman, I have the right to make a decision and to change my mind. I recognize that my decision has consequences. All important decisions do. I don't regret it, but I am truly sorry that it upset some of my colleagues and people I care about personally. As many of my congressional colleagues and constituents in Michigan know, for eight years, I have built one of the most unwavering pro-Israel voting records in Congress. I have supported an ally of the United States that is imperfect and in need of some political reforms of its own, but is nonetheless our truest friend in a part of the world where we need more friends, not fewer. I have stood with the Jewish community when it was easy and when it was hard, and I am not going to stop now. As co-chair of the House caucus on antisemitism, endorsing a man who stood with Hasan Piker and his antisemitic bile was always a tough fit for me. But I've been taught my whole political life that at the end of an election, you come together and support the winner, and I hoped I could help him moderate. Instead, he got worse. I regret my original endorsement, because I could have spared the country and my family from these past few days and from attempts to find a cause for an action that is consistent with a lifetime of my beliefs. The endorsement was the outlier act. Rescinding it was not. My colleagues who know me best understood that this was never easy for me, and that it was a highly unusual endorsement. As he got worse, they called me day and night to make sure I would not change my endorsement, because they knew how strongly I oppose people who traffic in antisemitism. At the same time, I watched people I have respected for years, including my campaign chair and our former state party chair, who is a veteran, say they could not vote for Abdul. As a student of history, I decided that standing up for what I believe mattered more. What mattered more was truth over political convenience. Nothing about this experience has been easy on me or those closest to me. I was elected to do a job, and I am going to finish it. I was elected as a Democrat, and I still believe our party should be big enough for more than one viewpoint. I will keep fighting antisemitism wherever it shows up, in either party, for as long as I am in public life. Congratulations to everyone who won on Tuesday. I look forward to a continued conversation about how we build tolerance for all viewpoints and embrace one another, especially when we disagree.
