The father of the terror suspect accused of gunning down two soon-to-be-engaged Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum was honored by a far-left member of Congress with an invitation to President Trump’s joint address this past March, The Post has exclusively learned.

“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) said Thursday night.

In March, he hailed Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”

“Eric represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people,” the congressman said in a statement at the time.

“His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: we will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns.”

Rodriguez also appeared in a Service Employees International Union video that same day, and said he was an Iraq War vet and an employee with the Veterans Affairs Department, the New York Times reported.

“I’ve been with the VA for three years, and the reason why I’m in Washington, DC, is because I’m concerned about what Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE are doing to the VA system.”

On Thursday, Rodriguez’s son, Elias, was charged in federal court with two counts of first-degree murder and other charges in the cold-blooded slayings of Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, as the Israeli Embassy employees left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.

Jesus Garcia for certain knows this family. Eric Rodrigez’ son caused his mother a huge heartbreak with his ugly depraved behavior.

Oh, Eric Rodriguez must be furious! Feted as a guest of the Left through an exclusive event invitation. Loses his son to the siren-song of left-wing dog whistles. Then they was their hands of him when their dirty work is done and his usefulness is over.

The Dems certainly know how to pick future assassins. I would say Daddy-O was a plant, but junior let the family cat out of the bag. I hope the father gets shunned by everyone.

Oh, I was right - and it didn’t take long!

I predicted yesterday that the Washington DC killer will be somehow linked to Trump and White Supremacists.

A father can be 180 degrees different than a son, in terms of violence, beliefs, tenderness, .....

look at who would murder their own child, in their own body!!!: Parents versus their grown kids?
Goes both ways 50% of the time.

If you will murder your own kid, what is a “couple jews” you dislike politically? Blobs of tissue.

Nuf sed.
