As Front Page Magazine already documented, Elias Rodriguez, the D.C. shooter, was part of a network of radical leftist and anti-Israel groups some of which have publicly come out in support of his crimes.
One of those groups had ties Rep. Rashida Tlaib. But now it turns out that the shooter’s family also had ties to another radical member of Congress who hates Israel and America almost as much as she does.
The father of the terror suspect accused of gunning down two soon-to-be-engaged Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum was honored by a far-left member of Congress with an invitation to President Trump’s joint address this past March, The Post has exclusively learned.
“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” a spokesperson for Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) told The Post Thursday night.
Rodriguez also appeared in a Service Employees International Union video that same day, and said he was an Iraq War vet and an employee with the Veterans Affairs Department, the New York Times reported.’
SEIU is a radical leftist union. It’s also anti-Israel and had demanded that Israel stop attacking Hamas.
Even stranger…
A worker at a shop near Eric Rodriguez’s Chicago home confirmed he approached the clerk, asking for a translation of an Arabic-language article about his son and the shooting on Thursday.
… that one sends off all sorts of red flags.
But back to Rep. Chuy Garcia who is for BDS, against Israel, for an arms embargo on Israel, accused the Jewish State of atrocities and demanded a ‘Palestinian’ speaker at the DNC. After the murders, Garcia put out a statement condemning the attack, but if a right-wing congressman had invited the father of a white supremacist mass shooter to an event, the media would be asking questions. It’s not going to do that here, but we ought to. Maybe this is a coincidence, but maybe it reflects another network, one that is embedded in a somewhat more ‘mainstream’ Left.
If it turns out that we can demonstrate foreknowledge on the father’s part, we can get 10 – 20 in federal lock-up for hate crimes.
Good coverage Daniel !!!!!
I remember I used to think it was a good deal when a contract with one of those big unions came in. I had no idea back then about the political angle.
they are not ‘radicals’ or ‘far left’ they are Demoncrats.
It leaves me with an uneasy feeling, like how bad is this going to get.
It is going to get bad.
Does the uneasy feeling tell you to buy a gun?
My take is that Thomas Matthew Crooks and Elias Rodriguez have or had the same sickness. Their parents would fulminate often and vehemently. The fulminated so often that they should have directly said do not get violent, but organize politically. They did not tell their kids to go out and do something like this. If I am wrong, then we are in the next stage and do not realize it.
I think their constant EMO fulminating acted as an irritant and inflamed the psyches of their children.
