Mr. Friedlander, a well-connected person who has had many memorable encounters with politicians, posted a picture of himself mingling with Hunter Biden, the renowned artist and former board member of a Ukrainian energy company, at the White House Chanukah event, saying, “Had a very good conversation with Hunter Biden at White House Chanukah Reception.”

VINnews reached out to the renowned frum lobbyist to elaborate on his encounter, and Ezra commented that he and the younger Biden, who was indicted last week on serious tax charges, shared words of Chizuk.
He said, “I basically gave Hunter chizuk from one human being to another. Did not discuss any details about his legal troubles.”
He added, “I actually found Hunter to be very friendly, down to (sic) warm and quite charming. Having a civil and polite conversation at the Chanukah Reception shouldn’t raise eyebrows.”
Friedlander also bumped into National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who has been a staunch supporter of Israel and the Jews. He rightfully heaped enormous praise on Kirby, and posted a video of the exchange.

Freidlander is no stranger to close encounters with controversial figures. In April, he came under fire after posting a photo of himself with antisemites Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.
He then defended his encounter, tweeting: “Was invited by a guest of @RepAndreCarson as a plus one to the Muslim Congressional staffer Iftar in the US Capitol where I utilized the opportunity to lay the foundation for future communication w @Ilhan and @RepRashida. As easier as it would be to not engage in conversation, I believe to my core that not communicating is even more risky. Had no idea what to expect when I entered the room but the reception could not have been warmer and hopefully can lead to mutual understanding somewhere down the road even if it’s a remote possibility.”
He said the same thing about the squad
disgrace and shameful
Yawn
Birds of a feather ……
He tweeted a picture from him and hunter because it didn’t raise enough ey
ebrows.
Some say they are about to finalize a deal for hunter to design the new liska synagogue.
Hey what don’t you do for money!
Friedlander has been a lobbyist for Turkey under their extreme leader Erdogan which has been terribly against Israel for years. He collected great sums of money from them to promote them in the USA. More info at FARA website of the DOJ.
What won’t he do for some PR and $$$.
“Warm and charming” will share some “stuff” if needed.
Poor Ezra. He’s not very well liked in our broader community except for a few select groups of “askanim” and “machers”. Hmmm, I wonder why that is.
He’ll get an extra Xmas bonus for saying that.

Corrupt people are generally warm and charming.
he is a true askan and the public face of the klal. a tzadik.
