(Jewish Group) NYC Republican mayoral candidate...Orthodox Jews are trying to 'take over your commun

NYC Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa said Orthodox Jews are trying to ‘take over your community’ in 2018 video

Video from 2018 surfaced this week of Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate for mayor of New York City, describing Orthodox Jews as a drag on the tax system.

“We’re not talking about poor, impoverished, disabled people who need help, we’re talking about able-bodied men who study Torah and Talmud all day and we subsidize them,” Sliwa says in the video. “And then all they do is make babies like there’s no tomorrow and who’s subsidizing that? We are.

“So are we the shmucks and putzes? Yes.”

Sliwa’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The video, which shows the founder of the Guardian Angels speaking at a meeting for the Reform Party, was posted originally to a Facebook page called United Hudson Valley on Oct. 25, 2018.

But hey, it's never too early to campaign for NY Govenor!!

Silwa's lost his marbles.
What a vile stoopid statement.

"We’re not talking about poor, impoverished, disabled people who need help, we’re talking about able-bodied men who study Torah and Talmud all day and we subsidize them,” Sliwa says in the video. “And then all they do is make babies like there’s no tomorrow and who’s subsidizing that? We are.

“So are we the shmucks and putzes? Yes.”

Silwa can replace the words, "Torah and Talmud" from that paragraph & target any demographic he deems not pure enough to be considered a human being worth dignity.

Race, religion, color, gender, attire or creed.
The Republicans have applied every one of these demographics to that paragraph thru the years.

He just happened to start with Jews in this anti-American screed.

This sort of statement is precisely what will drive & strengthen the Democratic Party in NY.
