“sickening” exploitation

The New York State Democratic Committee is under fire from all sides after it sent out campaign literature implying that gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon is anti-Semitic.

“With anti-Semitism and bigotry on the rise, we can’t take a chance with inexperienced Cynthia Nixon,” reads the mailer, according to the New York Post. The mailer continues by claiming the former “Sex and the City” actress is against the funding of yeshivas and also falsely accuses her of being “silent on the rise of anti-Semitism” and of supporting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israrel [sic! - vs].

The mailer, which was sent out just days before New York’s Democratic Primary on Sept. 13 and on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, was immediately met with widespread criticism.

...Nixon accused her political rival, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, of approving the mailer and called it a “sickening” exploitation of people’s fear.

The New York State Democratic Party committee executive Geoff Berman hastily said that they would “work with the Nixon campaign to send out a mailing of their choosing to the same universe of people.”

“Let me be very clear: This mailer was a mistake and is inappropriate and is not the tone the Democratic Party should set,” Berman tweeted. “It will not happen again.”

вот как надо! “sickening” exploitation of people’s fear, это я понимаю. а то Corbyn оправдывается как в детском саду. еще замечательно Berman hastily said

опять же где разъяснения: is she against the funding of yeshivas? хочем знать.

nyt разъясняет: This is dirty politics, nearly as sleazy as it gets.. именно.
