NEW YORK (VINnews) — Last week, Councilwoman Rita Joseph chose to abstain from a vote to declare April 29 “End Jew Hatred” Day. She later claimed that she regretted her decision, and only abstained because she did not have a chance to review the (extremely simple) one-page resolution.

As can be seen below, Joseph got blasted on Twitter over her absurd, lame explanation. One notable exception was David Greenfield who defended Joseph.

How long does it take to review a one page resolution? Your excuse for failing to support the resolution for End Jew Hatred Day is NOT credible. Here is the entire body of the resolution. One page. @RitaJosephNYC https://t.co/gF6vpkWzh7 pic.twitter.com/e7ltC1zk2u

The NY City council legislation to End Jew Hatred is on a single page, with 14 whereas clauses and only 24 words in the actual resolution.
Didn't have a chance to review it?
More likely, she didn't believe that anyone would notice that she abstained from this simple resolution https://t.co/nLxZyZIxnv pic.twitter.com/SBrrhbMQtl

How embarrassing that some Jewish org ‘s and so called “leaders” are so swiftly willing to forgive and forget this shameful comment. Can it have something to do with funding? How about some Jewish honor and dignity? https://t.co/r2eMSONX6h

“Dem Councilwoman Who Refused to Vote Against Jew Hatred Gets Slammed on Twitter; Greenfield Defends”
This headline is strange; it implies that Greenfield defended her while the others condemned; in fact, his tweet defending her was only in response to her apology.
So, a better headline would be:
“Dem Councilwoman Who Refused to Vote Against Jew Hatred Gets Slammed on Twitter; Greenfield Accepts her Apology”
His org get $40 MILLION from the city he makes $500,000 a YEAR its called kissing the ring. He also regularly praises brad lander
Let’s get to work on substantive issues the council deals with, like budget and laws, rather than getting overly worked up about feel-good symbolic declarations.
He also gets $500,000 A YEAR fighting poverty, it’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it. He is a super super askan
Dems only vote on bills they can read? How about Obama care or the clean air act?
maybe she is dyslexic so it will take very long to read.
You can’t end anti-semitism by issuing a resolution againt it. That’s like trying to prevent hurricans by taking out an ad against wind.
