Rep. Josh Gottheimer says progressive protesters shouted 'Jew' at NJ event
[NYPOST] Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo
...Dem politician, serving since 2021 as the Secretary of Commerce in the Biden Administration. She previously served as the 75th and first female Governor of Rhode Island from 2015 to 2021. Before that she was General Treasurer of Rhode Island from 2011 to 2015. Following her graduation from Yale Law School, Raimondo served as a law clerk to federal judge Kimba Wood of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York...
 is backing up a Jewish congressman’s incendiary claim that he heard protesters scream "Jew!" at him during a September event in New Jersey.

Garden State Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer caused a stir during a Dec. 13 speech at Rutgers University in which he said he was set upon by anti-Semitic protesters on Sept. 20 as he and Raimondo made a series of stops in Bergen County promoting President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....
’s infrastructure bill.

The pair were greeted by around 100 hecklers in Glen Rock — most of whom, Gottheimer claimed, came from the local chapter of the Working Families Party.
... a minor party of about 50,000 members across seventeen states and Washington, DC that claims to be “democrat socialist”. But really, with activist members like ACORN, we know what they really are, and why they don’t like Jews...
The situation was intense enough that Raimondo’s security detail insisted the pair travel in the commerce secretary’s vehicle.

"They were going from store to store protesting and as we were going into the bakery someone from the crowd derisively screamed ’Jew!'" Gottheimer said, adding that Raimondo heard the remark too and reacted with disgust. "She couldn’t believe it. I remember looking at her."

Raimondo told The Post this week she too heard the hateful jeers.

"Anti-Semitism is wrong, reprehensible and unacceptable. I join Congressman Gottheimer in condemning these hateful attacks that have absolutely no place in our politics," Raimondo said.

Though a Democrat, Gottheimer is among his party’s most moderate voices and his attacks on "The Squad" and progressives has long drawn activist ire. WFP endorsed his unsuccessful 2020 primary opponent Arati Kreibich — who was at the protest herself.
