Will NY-17 Dems Condemn the 1199SEIU’s Disgusting Hypocrisy?

May 7, 2025

In a massively hypocritical move, the 1199SEIU – a health care union – is running anti-Mike Lawler ads in Yiddish and English to target Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish voters.

But not long ago, this same union called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, an arms embargo on Israel, and even accused Israel of committing war crimes.

“The 1199SEIU has been blatantly and repeatedly anti-Israel and pro-Hamas, but now, the group is attempting to court Jewish voters? Disgusting. Using religion as a political weapon is never justified, and Cait Conley, Beth Davidson, John Sullivan, Jessica Reinmann, and Mike Sacks must condemn this immediately.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
