House Democrat Says He’s ‘Confident’ Kamala Harris Was Not Swayed ‘By Public Antisemitic Campaign’ Against Shapiro
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) released a statement on Tuesday night regarding the ongoing attack on Vice President Kamala Harris that she gave into anti-Semitism on the far-left of the Democratic Party by snubbing Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) and choosing Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate.
“Governor Walz is an outstanding selection for Kamala Harris’ VP nominee. He is a veteran, a teacher, a coach and a bipartisan deal-maker- serving first as a pro-Israel independent- minded member of Congress and recently as the unifying and effective Governor of Minnesota,” began Goldman, adding:
Governor Walz has passed critical reproductive freedom legislation, commonsense gun safety reforms, and enacted programs that uplift working families, all of which can serve as models for federal legislation we must pass.
Goldman, who is Jewish and often speaks out against anti-Semitism, added, “While the public antisemitic campaign from some within the Democratic Party against Governor Josh Shapiro was unacceptable and regrettable, I am confident after a number of conversations today that Vice President Harris was not influenced by them in her selection of Governor Walz.”
“I look forward to doing everything in my power to ensure that we elect the Harris-Walz ticket and defeat the MAGA extremist ticket of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance on November 5th,” added the Democrat.
Goldman also took to X and slammed former President Donald Trump for continuing to “lecture” American Jews about being Democrats. “Before Trump and Republicans lecture Jews about which party is more friendly to us, let’s look at which party actually elects Jews,” wrote Goldman, adding:
26 Jewish Members of Congress
Dem: 24
GOP: 29 Jewish Senators
Dem: 8
Ind: 1
GOP: 0
“So please spare me the patronizing lectures,” he concluded. Trump has long sparked controversy by blasting Jewish Democrats, calling them “fools” and accusing them of hating Israel and being disloyal.
