Rep. Ritchie Torres, a self described progressive democrat, has been enormously supportive of Israel and in speaking out against Antisemitism. The result was an overwhelming backlash from the woke mob, but he has stood his ground. Tonight, he is our guest on Behind the Bima where we will ask him where his love and support of Israel comes from, how he deals with the hate and if we can persuade his colleagues to share his supportive view. Also joining us, Joey Borgen who was recently attacked and maced in Manhattan, simply for being a Jew.
