R. Michael Bryan 1st Vice Chair | DeKalb County Republican Party
Republican Representative Mike Lawler of New York participated in a recent CNN panel discussion moderated by Abby Phillip. During the show, Lawler criticized Democrats for their perceived priorities, highlighting their support for figures like Mahmoud Khalil of Columbia University over crime victims in New York City and Jewish students facing harassment on college campuses.
Lawler's remarks sparked intense reactions from other panelists. Despite efforts by host Abby Phillip to manage the conversation, tensions remained high. Lawler stated, "What the general public sees is a Democratic Party that is more interested in defending people like Mahmoud Khalil than they are victims of crime here in New York City or Jewish students who have been subjected to vile anti-Semitism."
The discussion drew attention on social media as well. Thomas Hern shared a clip from the show on Twitter, while Bonchie commented, "This isn’t a failure of strategy. This is who the Democrats are." Ethan Fine expressed gratitude to Lawler for supporting Jewish students.
The segment reflects ongoing debates about political priorities and ideological divides within American politics.
