  1. Liu has a long history of treating frum Jews with respect. I’ve seen YouTube videos of him touring a matzah factory and visiting — eating dinner at — somone’s very nice Sukkah. I am not surprised this is his response to metzitzah b’peh.

  2. maybe he has his own cultural practices and knows it’s not the governments place to mix in to things they don’t understand.
