Detailed Factual Report

Eleven years ago, just after departing the Obama administration, I traveled to a Jewish community center in Brooklyn to defend the Iran nuclear deal on a panel organized by U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. I had just left the State Department, where I advocated for the nuclear deal to Congress, specifically in the House of Representatives.

What I saw that night from preseumptive speaker of the House Jeffries should give all Jewish Americans confidence that he’ll be a great leader on issues related to Israel and antisemitism.

That night in Brooklyn I experienced with full force what Jeffries had been confronting from his Jewish constituents — an angry, nervous crowd who wanted him to oppose the deal. There was much vitriol at that event, which I tried to subdue by mentioning that my father was born in Brooklyn. That didn’t do me much good. One audience member called me a “kapo” and compared me to the Jewish people who she claimed “marched in Manhattan in support of Adolf Hitler.”

To say that the audience reactions to the deal were overwrought would be an understatement. But you know who wasn’t overwrought? Hakeem Jeffries.
