Former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a lifelong Democrat and activist against antisemitism, has officially changed his party registration to Republican — as has his wife, he announced on Thursday, Breitbart reports.
Hikind made the revelation on Twitter:
“I have been a lifelong Democrat — my family, my parents,” Hikind said. “But that’s over! That’s finished … Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized … that people who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party … and I’ve had enough.”
He criticized the Biden administration for “turning its back” on Israel. His wife, Shani, added: “I’m totally convinced that this is the right move … The Democratic Party no longer represents our interests, what we stand for, and our values.” She said the party no longer represented how she and her husband felt about America.
Wait a minute. Our tireless hardworking dedicated askanim have scolded us that we MUST throw our Torah values out the window and switch affiliations to the democrat party! All Republicans are evil white racist anti semites. Only the minority transgender mishgav zachorniks in the inclusive democrat party has our best interest in mind. Our askanim are a lot smarter than us and would never lead us wrong.
