more photo ops , murphy, deblasio and cuomo are the problems , and the frum community runs to them , why social programs, what a joke
Without any reporting on what was actually discussed in the meeting these photos are boring and meaningless. Were any concrete steps taken to curb the rise in anti-Semitism? Will Jews be allowed to arm and defend themselves? Will perpetrators face stiffer punishments?
Are they having a meeting with the governor in front of a larger than life sized painting of that same governor?
