Nypost has more. Totally unsurprised to see the Kristin Richardson Jordan associated with this. I guess there are no Jewish voters in her district.

Just to clarify, this women held a "vigil" the eulogized Michelle Go and Kristal Bayron Nieves (murder victims) alongside Lashawn McNeil (cop killer, murderer). She copied and pasted another DSA nobody's Putin-apologistic, anti-American screed about Ukraine...verbatim. Like it was searchable. W/e you think about Ukraine and American responsibility, you think she'd try to cover her tracks in her anti-American, "anti-imperialist" fictions. But no.

That's the lack of intellect and self-awareness we're dealing with here. She saw how divisive the coverage of Kanye ended up being and she wants in.

So many members of the City Council are an astounding mixture of unfit (as in, hostilely resentful to requests they actually assist New Yorkers with problems), evil, and stupid, to the point of being depraved. It's hard to accept ordinary people let someone like this into office. What did she promise them? (And why aren't you all more pissed off about it? This woman's gets a nice plump salary from the city taxpayer when a drinking bird would be a better councilperson.)

This is a stunt, most likely, because she has no accomplishments and fundraising for 2023 Council elections is starting, but it's still a deeply ugly, repulsive stunt that would not be tolerated from anyone but a progressive or socialist in New York City. She's trying to tap into something nasty in New York voters' hearts, and maybe draw out something very ugly in the fringe. It's gross.

And yet this will not get coverage anywhere in tiny Jewish publications, and the NYPost. This is on the same level of MTG and her space lasers, yet there'll be more coverage of her in the NYT (still this city's most prestigious local paper, on top of being one of the most prestigious print journals in the country) than of Jordan...when Jordan impacts this city.

MTG strikes me as merely a stupid crackpot meme font/troll, but Richardson is living in a city with more Jews than Israel and where violent anti-Semitic attacks are ongoing. Part of the reason that is is because of NY Shitty Council's fetishization with deprosecution and "decarceration".

Endorsements like this, the embrace of someone like Farrakhan by a lawmaker...doesn't help.
