Will Pat Ryan renounce Skoufis endorsement after antisemitic remarks?

A Pat Ryan ally launched a hateful attack against the Orthodox community in response to a case of polio in Rockland County.

In a now-deleted statement, State Sen. James Skoufis blamed the “unvaccinated” Jewish community for a new case of polio that health officials in New York are calling “vaccine-derived.” It appears the case involved someone who received an outdated polio vaccine.

Skoufis endorsed Ryan’s bid for Congress and Ryan has enthusiastically supported Skoufis.

NRCC Comment: “Anything less than renouncing James Skoufis’ endorsement, condemning his comments, and rescinding his own endorsement of Skoufis is pure cowardice from Pat Ryan.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
