Patricia and Mark McCloskey, the personal injury lawyers who parlayed their racist, gun-totin' ways into a speaking spot at the Republican National Convention, have neighbor issues a little closer to home than peaceful BLM protesters — they have a rabbi-next-door who doesn't have their backs.
In a piece for Forward, Rabbi Susan Talve — whose Jewish Central Reform Congregation is next to the McCloskeys' plot — laments the McCloskeys' rise to fame, saying:
It’s so upsetting that they have a national audience. It’s upsetting we make heroes out of people who hate ... They are bullies. The fact that they’re speaking at the convention is a win for bullies.
And get a load of this:
In 2013, the synagogue placed beehives along the wall to produce honey for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. One morning they found the hives destroyed and all the bees dead. Mark McCloskey had taken an ax or sledgehammer to them.
His issue? The fence between them sat six inches inside the McCloskey’s property line. The hives were his to wreck.
“He could have picked up the phone and said, ‘Hey, those beehives are on my property,’ and we would have happily moved them,” said Talve.
This is the kind of person who votes for Trump. If you know people who vote for Trump: Drop. Them. This is not Dem/Repub, lib/conserv, this is good/evil time.
Talve, by the way, is known for her activism, and appeared at the White House in the wake of the Ferguson protests. What a kick that she works next door to these monsters.
