apart from so many is that he’s intellectually honest and genuinely wants to do the right thing. Ritchie has been an ally to the Jewish people and 100% Pro-Israel since I met him on his FIRST day in City Hall in 2014. He’s a TRUE friend.
There’s a false narrative that I am pro-Israel because of “the Jewish lobby” or “Jewish money” or whatever antisemitic tropes critics wish to invoke.
Left unmentioned is the fact that I have been pro-Israel for nearly a decade—long before I ever thought of running for Congress.

The hasidic-looking “Jews” who violated the Sabbath and marched in an antisemitic rally are not part of ANY Jewish community. As I’ve said before, they are sadly a handful of mentally challenged people who represent absolutely no one.
