At the gathering, Abba Cohen, Agudah’s Washington Director and VP for Gov Affairs, praised Mayorkas for his concern and connection with the Jewish community.

Cohen said,” A few minutes after Shabbos when the synagogue in Colleyville [Texas] was taken over [by a terrorist], I and other Jewish leaders received personal phone calls from Secretary Mayorkas and other officials in the White House expressing their concern, condolence and solidarity.”

He added, “In my 34 years in Washington, I have never experienced that level of sincerity, concern, and care about the Jewish community on a personal level.”

That was followed by a large round of applause from the crowd.

And then we wonder why a large part of patriotic Americans hate Jews.
They hate us because of LEFTIST atheist Godless people, like a Majorkas like a Schumer, Nadler, etc who are out to destroy this once great country of ours.

This is why many in the Frum community are cynical and have no real trust in the leadership.

So a call from Mayorkas to the Agudah makes him praiseworthy? Oh my, how low we have stooped. He, together with Merrick Garland (originally Garfinkel) are two of the worst government official in recent history. That both are Jewish doesn’t make us feel better; quite the opposite.

Jewes need aguda as the world needs the UN, two organizations that do nothing but rake and millions while trying to convince everyone that without them we won’t exist.

Meanwhile, Mayorkas richly deserves to be impeached or terminated. His has proven to be grossly incompetent, and has persistently lied to Congress and to the American people. He has good PR, but nothing more than that. I wish him a happy retirement.

The Aguda is well known for its lack of spiritual backbone, that’s my (& a lot of my friends) impression and we are of a community that are members and our Raba in Israel is participating in elections בחירות
they should be ashamed to kiss the…. Of this guy that doesn’t deserve his job for many reasons
