Antonio Delgado, the former rapper who used racially charged lyrics and is now the Democratic candidate for the 19th Congressional District in New York, has once again said something outrageous.

At a debate with Rep. John Faso (R, N.Y.) on Monday, Delgado said “Israel Is Not a Jewish Democracy”.

“Being pro-Israel and being pro-peace is critical, but I’m also pro-democracy, and as currently constructed, Israel is not a Jewish democracy. Those settlements make it so that it can’t be,” Delgado said.

Given his chance to respond, Rep. John Faso said “Israel is not a democracy? Israel is a strong democracy. It is a vibrant democracy. It’s got a vibrant free enterprise system. It has got a vibrant agricultural system and culture. Israel is a democracy,” Faso said.

“They are our main democratic ally in that region and in fact, moving the embassy to Jerusalem was the right decision.”

As YWN has previously reported, Delgado is a former rap singer who released a CD titled “Painfully Free” in 2006 in which he uses the N-word, is critical of the two-party political system calls the “dead” presidents “white supremacists” and blasts capitalism.

Delgado and Faso are locked in a dead heat.

The district comprises all of Ulster, Greene, Columbia, Sullivan, Delaware, Schoharie and Otsego counties; most of Dutchess County; parts of Rensselaer and Montgomery counties; and a small section of Broome County. Thousands of Jewish voters reside in these counties.

Congressman John Faso of New York has worked hard and smart. Strong on Crime, Borders and our 2nd Amendment, John is respected by all. Vote for John. He has my complete and total Endorsement!
