Ritchie Torres is a huge AIPAC recipient. He is a US congressman in the House of Representative, representing the South Bronx district of NY.
This is a hostile interview. From 40 minutes to the end of the video, Adam Friedland tells Ritchie Torres that supporting Israel is antisemitic. He tells Ritchie Torres that by Democrats promoting Israel’s Genocide of Gaza and claiming that all Jewish people want to do Genocide, that Zionists are creating hatred of Jewish people.
This interview gives one the impression that this is Ritchie Torres’s first time being asked questions.
The man is so awkward and monotone, so eager to say his weird little one-liners that don’t land at all, so committed to his talking points that he literally is not responding to what Adam is saying. He can’t even do small talk, he’s giving one word answers to like “what’s up” type questions
He really comes off as a souless automaton that can only answer in pre-scripted anecdotes about himself and Hasbara talking points.
