Ritchie Torres is a huge AIPAC recipient. He is a US congressman in the House of Representative, representing the South Bronx district of NY.

This is a hostile interview. From 40 minutes to the end of the video, Adam Friedland tells Ritchie Torres that supporting Israel is antisemitic. He tells Ritchie Torres that by Democrats promoting Israel's Genocide of Gaza and claiming that all Jewish people want to do Genocide, that Zionists are creating hatred of Jewish people.

i jumped to the 40 minute mark and i only could stand to watch a little bit because torres just seems completely bloodless. i have never heard him speak before and it was really bizarre just how apathetic his whole affect is. it is honestly a lot more frustrating than if he actually seemed like he really gave a shit

    Really disturbing how Torres tried, in bad faith, to disqualify everything Adam was saying as he was trying to have a real conversation. I think Adam being as exasperated as he was felt understandable, I can't imagine talking about something that sensitive and having the congressman tell you "I feel like you're lecturing me".

    Honestly Fetterman and his entitled petulance coupled with his homicidal sociopathy is just the perfect encapsulation of the Democratic party right now.
