I’ll go with a pro-abortion Jew before a pro-abortion Catholic any day. If only because the local Catholic bishop won’t be tripping over himself to give him Communion.
Ed Koch is the only Democrat I ever voted for. There was no pro-life candidate in that election.
Koch was in the front row at St. Patrick’s the Sunday after Cardinal O’Connor and the Eucharist were attacked by ActUp.
I really had a soft spot for him because of an interview he had on local TV:
Reporter: You called Bella Abzug a “loser,” didn’t you?
Koch: Why not? She is a loser. I beat her.
Reporter: You don’t turn the other cheek, do you?
Koch: I’m not a Christian.
Ed Koch shot from the hip and never backed down. One of the few politicians I ever had respect for. D or R. A very wise man.
