As the first Indian American woman to serve in Congress, Diwali has always been a very special holiday for me. It’s a moment to celebrate light over darkness, and love over hate. And at a moment where anti-Indian hate is on the rise and racist rhetoric is coming from the highest levels of government, we need this reminder more than ever.

This Diwali, let’s light our diyas for light to come into our homes and our country. Embrace each other, reject hate and division, surround yourselves with joy, and have a bright and meaningful festival of lights. Happy Diwali!

I am beyond disgusted by this vile and racist display. Diwali is an important holiday and our community should feel safe to celebrate it. This hateful display has no place in our city or this country.

HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.
