Actor and comedian Joe Piscopo earned nationwide fame with his celebrity impersonations, Saturday Night Live skits, and roles in Hollywood films like the remake of King Kong and Wise Guys.

Now hosting his own daily radio show, Piscopo airs his views on a social and political issues including what he sees as the trend within the Democratic Party towards abandoning Israel.
Earlier this week, Piscopo sat down with Arutz Sheva to discuss the roots of his own pro-Israel views, his frustrations with the Democratic Party, and who he supports in the upcoming presidential election.

And he still loves Sinatra.
He actually has a local radio show here in the NY/NJ area.
She states she was really given a hard time for being a Conservative on that show.

I guess the lack of support for the United States in the Democrat Party escaped his notice. Good to see he had a breaking point, unlike so many other “life-long Democrats”.
