“I am outraged that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is offering the perpetrator of a horrific beating of a Jewish man in Midtown a mere six-month sentence in a plea bargain for this despicable hate-based attack, for which he could be released in 60 days after serving a third of the sentence. This is an indefensible slap on the wrist for an assailant who pledged he would ‘do it again’ after his arrest. This deal sends the worst possible message that a prosecutor can send – that it’s open season for antisemitic assaults in New York City. Antisemitic hate crimes have increased by a whopping 41 percent over the past year – and it’s no wonder why. We have a district attorney who essentially condones violence against Jewish New Yorkers. This is an abomination. I call on Gov. Kathy Hochul to remove Alvin Bragg immediately. One year ago, Gov. Hochul publicly called upon New Yorkers calling for the removal of the shockingly soft-on-crime Bragg to ‘cut him some slack,’ and that Bragg ‘deserves a chance.’ Gov. Hochul – Alvin Bragg has had his chance and he has failed to do his job to render justice time and time again. The need for him to be removed is apparent. He is coddling the vicious assailant of a Jewish New Yorker for being Jewish and he has pledged to do it again. You now need to do your job by removing him.”
