Dershowitz Swears Off Party After 'Anti-Jewish' DNC: 'I Was Disgusted' by 'Miserable, Anti-Zionist Bigot' AOC

During a conversation with radio host Zev Brenner on the YouTube-streamed program Talkline, Dershowitz said he had been considering leaving the party and his breaking point came when he was heard hear pro-Hamas and “anti-Jewish” rhetoric outside of the United Center.

Dershowitz said some of the anti-Jewish hatred came from inside the convention from Democratic lawmakers.

“They had more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with AOC – a miserable, anti-zionist bigot,” he said. “Then of course they had Liz Warren who is one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.”

“I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention,” he said. “Absolutely disgusted.”

And stay there. Forever.

And it wasn’t “anti-Jewish.” It’ was anti-Israel, specifically - the Likud. And I, who used to be pro-Israel, are with her.

those Palestinians demanding time to speak were not given any time for the same reason Dershowitz was not given time. Neither support the democratic ticket.

were proposed, they did find one speaker who agreed to endorse the ticket in her speech. However, she still refused to condemn the October 7 attacks and Hamas, which is the official position of the president Democratic Party. So she wasn’t allowed to speak.

In 92 he was denied a speaking slot at the convention. He wanted to give an anti-abortion speech but pro-choice was the official position of the party.

His list of clients is a bit disturbing. He goes for the strange, controversial, and bizarre. Sure, he's a competent lawyer, but look at the cases he's been involved in, and tell me he isn't just in it for ego and notoriety.

has been a full blown member of the Trump cult since 2016. Like the other creepers in the cult, Dershowitz has a woman problem.

He tried to rewrite the history of bushthief's all out assault on American democracy in Florida in 2000 to try to help the orange turd with his current legal issues. I wrote him and called him out for it. The dems don't need Dershowitz.
