Statement from Corey Bearak, Weprin for Assembly Campaign Manager
(2010-02-07)
It's not offensive to make sure people know just how extreme Republican-Conservative Bob Friedrich is; this extremist opposes hate crimes legislation1 - it's offensive that Republican Bob Friedrich actually opposes hate crimes legislation that would help protect our community from violent acts of prejudice. Crimes driven by anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia and other prejudices deserve special attention and warrant extra-tough penalties. Bob Friedrich must answer to our community why he won't support hate crimes legislation. As a Jewish community leader who speaks out against anti-Semitism and other hate, I find it just outrageous that an extremist like Friedrich, who is also anti-gun control and against Roe v. Wade, would run for office in our community.
No doubt the voters, will reject this chronic liar and violator of the public trust on Tuesday, February 9.
