The Adam Friedland Show - US Congressman Ritchie Torres Interview (AIPAC politician)
(www.youtube.com)
Ritchie Torres is a huge AIPAC recipient. He is a US congressman in the House of Representative, representing the South Bronx district of NY.
This is a hostile interview. From 40 minutes to the end of the video, Adam Friedland tells Ritchie Torres that supporting Israel is antisemitic. He tells Ritchie Torres that by Democrats promoting Israel's Genocide of Gaza and claiming that all Jewish people want to do Genocide, that Zionists are creating hatred of Jewish people.
Torres seems like an android on low batteries who's just spitting out AI chatbot lines, but does Friedland always sound that whiny? He all but whimpers all of the responses to Torres's flowchart answers while rarely actually providing solid retorts. It's like he expects Torresbot to come over to his side despite the AIPAC money just because of his own poorly-articulated experiences. This is the first time I've watched him, and he just came off as pretty poorly-prepared for the interview.
