The minyanim that I go to don’t have anyone talking during davening so nothing to get all worked up about.
If a Rav said something to me privately or during a Shiur to a select group of בני תורה I’m obviously not going to quote him with his name publicly without his permission.
The full context of what he said was a משול regarding a store owner who was lazy.
“If you walk into his store and don’t see him there, does that mean that he closed down his store? Of course not.”
“If you walk by his store at 10:00 AM and the gates are still down, does that mean that he closed down his store? Of course not.)
“If you walk by his store and the signs have all been taken down, does that mean that he closed down his store? Most probably.”
“רבותי, if someone messes up a little over here or there- they’re still Frum, but if someone ר״ל purposely violates שבת, if someone purposely eats טרפות, he’s taking down his sign”.
How much more so someone who actively supports a political party that wants to destroy the תורה and promotes relationships that the Torah call an abomination.
On a similar note- the משנה in ראש השנה states that a gambler is disqualified from being an עד in בית דין since he can be easily bribed. Do you think that nowadays the משנה would include someone who votes democrat just to get some extra handouts? If they’re willing to throw the תורה under the bus for a couple extra bucks what wouldn’t they do for money?
