Of course. Andrew Yang knows that the Left’s base today hates America and Israel, and agrees with Ilhan Omar. He isn’t about to stand up for his own country, much less for one of its allies.
Jillian says
I think this is the guy (not 100 percent sure) that stuck up for Israel and was attacked by the leftist Islamic mob.
Roland says
Yes, Jillian. Andrew Yang has been burned. He is gun-shy. He tweeted sympathy for Israel under Hamas attack. He was promptly reprimanded by AOC and the other Communists. New York has changed. The Democratic primaries are now dangerous venues for pro-Israel Democrats. The Jewish community has,unfortunately changed, too. Politicians are not going to stick up for you if they can’t count on your support. .

Thanks, Jillian and Roland.

I wonder if anyone will ask Farrakhan fan Adams the same question. You know the ex-cop that finds an advantage in talking tough but refused to stand up for his fellow officers back in the day and has done nothing to curb crime as Brooklyn Borough President. Yang is far from perfect but I would trust him more than the Oligarchy’s latest hollow hero.

Eric Adams has said that he is pro-Israel–how this squares with his schmoozing with Farrakhan is anyone’s guess…

Unfortunately, on the GOP side of the primary, nobody who matches what Rudy was in 1993. Not just that, anybody who was Republican and could afford it has decamped to Florida – I believe that both Rudy and Bernie Kerik both live there now. NYC might as well become Geneva, once the NYSE leaves there for either Florida or Charlotte (which imo would be an ideal new location)
Wellington says
As the patriotic American that I am I can nonetheless state, in fact emphatically state, that NYC is my least favorite place in all of the USA, though there are other “worthy” candidates like Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Portland and Philadelphia. Notice what is in common here is that they are all cities and, as Thomas Jefferson observed, cities are the breeding ground of filth and pessimism (e.g., 80 million rats in NYC compared to 8 million people). Never more so than in our time and I would add to Jefferson’s assessment another twin feature—insanity and imbecility.
Some people like cities. That is their right. But don’t count me in here. Ever.

I’d rather live way out, in the woods, near a stream, waterfalls, ..with the birds and the squirrels. Like my family did when I was growing up. So much better than being squashed inside a place full of rude strangers who may be untrustworthy.
So, count me as one who doesn’t like cities. They may have necessary things these days…doctors and grocery stores, etc.,…but so much of what they have is so unlikeable.
Walter Sieruk says
This could be because candidate Yang might be either a coward or disloyal to America.
,
For that Muslim politician, Ilhan Omar , with her outlandlash and outrageous words along with her scheming influence to promote her Un-American Islamic ideas ,politics and polices ,specifically Sharia law, upon America which are in strong contrast to American ideas, values, politic and polices are a matter of concern.
Omar with her favoring is terrible Sharia law.
Doesn’t candidate Yang understand this ? What’s wrong with him ?
somehistory says
Judicial Watch is pursuing charges against i omar (elmi) for her many crimes…student loan fraud, marriage fraud, perjury, and numerous others. Her dear old daddy, whom she claims to miss, lied about his name…and his daughters, sons, to get them inside the U.S. because their last name was connected to his terrorism, and the name ‘omar’ was not.
Now, she has sullied that name too with her snake lies, her support for terrorists, her fraud…of course, it could have already been, but was unknown at the time omars were being allowed in.
Whatever her “name”…a snake she remains. As do those who support her and the evil that emanates and oozes from her every ugly pore.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
It will take some doing to bring Omar down.
After all, she is:
1. A female.
2. A person of color.
3. An immigrant.
4. a muslima.
Not impossible, but very, very difficult…
somehistory says
J.L.,
True. Judicial Watch has a petition for people to sign to get the government to go after her and prosecute her for her many crimes. Judicial Watch has been very successful in the past. We can all, those of us who hold honesty and integrity and morality to be very important, hope she will be brought down.

NYC mayoral candidate Yang refuses comment on Omar’s likening of US and Israel to Taliban and Hamas
……………..
Andrew Yang is a coward. This does not surprise.
somehistory says
PA Rep. Scott Perry said, those “in this body, right here,” who support hamas against Israel are the “hamas caucus.” And he pointed out that the mozlum terror intent is to kill all Jews in Israel, so those “reps” in the House are supporting the killing of Jews…all of them.
Tex. Rep Chip Roy was speaking about the Southern border stuff and what is happening in Israel with the U.S. funding hamas, and Perry took part. (May, 2021)
OLD GUY says
Well I guess he either agrees with Omar’s statement or he is a coward to call her out.
