Lawler’s Silence on Trump Remarks on Jews and Israel Defies Logic
Opinion Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the author/producer’s interpretation of facts and data.
Recently, Donald Trump made the outrageous and unhinged remarks charging Jews who vote for Democrats “hate Israel” and “their religion” has ignited a firestorm of criticism from Jewish leaders and the White House. He continued his rant saying, “they hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”
That being said, when Republican Congressman Mike Lawler was asked to respond to Trump’s remark he made a dismissive hand wave.
Part of Lawler’s constituency is Rockland County, an area where a large population of Hasidic Jews live and have a strong voting bloc. Lawler is clever and has been massaging this group over his term in Congress knowing how important their support is for him to be re-elected.
It’s unfathomable to me that he can dismiss Trump’s anti-Semitic remarks while he romances the Hasidic Rockland community.
It’s time to get Lawler out of office and vote for Democrat Mondaire Jones, a man with ethics that are in sync with our district.
