Andrew Gillum makes appeal to Jewish voters, and Jewish leaders vouch for him
Sun Sentinel ^

Posted on 10/07/2018 6:43:20 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

“Folks who would spread mischaracterizations about who I am don’t know that I’ve been to Israel three times,” he said, proclaiming that “I don’t have to stand up and defend my credentials and my relationship with the Jewish community any more than Michael Bloomberg would need to do up here, except for, maybe, our last names.”

Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and a prominent Jewish leader, had just delivered a speech supporting Gillum’s candidacy. “It seems to me this is a very easy choice for the voters of Florida,” he said.

Bloomberg, the billionaire founder of a financial information company, just donated $250,000 to Gillum’s campaign.

*****

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, said she’s known Gillum for years and vouched for him. Wasserman Schultz, the first Jewish woman elected to the House from Florida, is a former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Sunday’s event, at a synagogue at the Century Village condominium community in Pembroke Pines, was in Wasserman Schultz’s district.

I just don’t understand the Jewish community. They view the Republican Party as the Party of Hitler. They have become so blinded that they cannot think straight!!!!

I don’t either, but there’s enough of a cult following to give rise to the “Self-hating Jew” description

Must be a death wish Nothing else makes sense

While it is clear that liberal American Jews are morons with no sense of self preservation, the question remains. Who appointed these people “Jewish leaders”?

The same people that appointed Al & Jesse black leaders?

I think that tomorrow I will become the leader of conservatives in the US. Any objections?

Bloomberg and Wasserman-Schultz are Jewish leaders? Has this writer lost their mind? They are "leaders" of Judaism like a child molester should be teaching Sunday school. IF they are even Jewish, it is only by virtue of their mother being Jewish. Certainly not from following the tenets of Judaism.

This is soooo typical of dummocraps, taking something very tangential and blowing it up until it takes on the appearance of something else.

News flash: Bloomberg and Wasserman-Schultz are NOT Jewish leaders and in no way speak for Jews. They speak for whatever will grant them more power and money. That they would speak up for this commie piece of roadkill Gillum and urge people to vote for him tell us very clearly that both of these degenerates are completely amoral and happy to play the part of Judas goat.

Someone needs to point out that Gillum is a SOCIALIST and PROGRESSIVE to the Jewish people a well as he proposes:

1.A FLORIDA state Income Tax - that will screw up home sales and related businesses, furniture, moving, etc.
2. Health care for all including ILLEGALS paid for by those taxpayers 2.A_MEDICARE for all!? As it is, not all doctors accept medicare. Many DOCTORS will refuse a State Medicare as easily as they do Federal.
(A (D) friend was shocked Doctors do not have to accept Medicare (no wonder they are Democrats). Slavery was abolished.)
2.B_ Doctors will resort to Concierge practices; (Patients pay an added fee for their services.)
3. A Gillam, man who played the race card, stated he will need a "Confederacy" of states to have an effective Medicare, central payer system. Guess this is called GillumCare after ObamaCare.

Oy vey, don’t worry, don’t worry, you know those schvartzes get a little carried away with all the African dresses and the big earrings, and all that Malcolm X Muslim mishegas. But bubellah, I promise you, they will always remember that we marched with them in Selma.

Well, of course they vouch for him, he is a liberal. Do not the jewish vote overwhelmingly for the democrats? It irks me no end considering how we support Israel.

There is a bit of a reason for the vague distrust for them out there. They are not aligned with conservative goals it would seem.

The creepy, corrupt Deb W-S, and the reprehensible nanny-state fake Pubby and gun-grabber Bloomberg will prove to be counterproductive.

No, actually, it’s always been this way with the Jews. Throughout their history, or at least the past 2,000 years since they were evicted from their homeland, and forced to live as foreigners all over the globe. There have always been a sizeable percentage of Jews who assimilated and made a conscious decision to distance themselves from their Jewish roots.

When antisemitism was prevalent in Europe, a lot Jews didn’t want to deal with the stigma of being Jewish. The less religious, Reformed Jews, have always been numerous in major metropolitan areas. And it is from this Reformed Jewish population, that successive generations are more likely to completely lose any Jewish identity.

On the other hand, over the last several hundred years, the religious Jews are smaller in number, but have a lot of children. It is from this more religious population that most of the Jewish scholars, rabbis, and cantors emerge from. Some of them end up working in less religious synagogues and Jewish schools.

But there’s always been a very vital, energized religious population to supplement the larger population of less committed Jews. It’s as constant as the change of seasons.

Getting Bloomberg & Debbie Wasserman Schulz to back and support you in a state like Florida is probably more of a kiss of political death, rather than a path to victory for Democrat, Communist, Andrew Gillum!!! Jews in Florida are certainly not Jews in Israel. As a matter of fact.....most Liberal Democrat, Communist, Jews in hate the state of Israel. I wonder when Gillum is going to march in Obama, Clinton & Ocasio-Cortez to campaign for him!!!

A tiny bit of good news, mail-in voting is underway in Florida and the first days posted results show the Republicans winning by a 2 to 1 margin, 6,000 to 3000 votes. Stay tuned we got a long way to go until Election day, November 6, 2018.

Go, Trump, Go, GOP, Go, GOTV, Get Out The Vote, Go, MAGA!!!
