Yasher Koach to Robby Geller for his letter in the New Mexican February 28, 2017:
Hard questions
First of all, I did not support Jeff Sessions for attorney general nor did I support Keith Ellison for Democratic National Committee chairman. After watching Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Cory Booker, D-N.J., eviscerate Sessions over racially insensitive comments attributed to him 30 years ago, I wonder how these same people supported Ellison, knowing that he has supported Louis Farrakhan, the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, and referred to Israel incorrectly as an apartheid state, associations and comments that are considered anti-Semitic. Sessions has tried to distance himself from his previous comments and has made attempts to undo the harm caused by those positions. Ellison has not apologized and continues to criticize Israel beyond what most would consider political disagreements. So why was the Democratic leadership unable to forgive racially insensitive comments and actions more than 30 years ago from one politician while embracing another politician, who I believe continues to preach an anti-Semitic doctrine?
