Torres often stands alone or is part of a small group of common-sense Dems in going against the party's far-left agenda. He refused to join the radical 'Squad' in Congress and distinguished himself as an articulate and forceful supporter of Israel.
Noting that 45% of New York Jews voted for Donald Trump, compared to about 30% four years ago, Torres wrote on X that 'The Anti-Israel fanaticism of the far left is entirely to blame for the erosion of Jewish support.'
Torres, just 36 years old, is equally direct in his criticism of Hochul and Adams, especially about their failures on public safety. After serial stabber and recidivist Ramon Rivera allegedly killed three people in Manhattan, Torres wrote a scathing letter to both officials.
He calls the refrain among protesters that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza a 'blood libel.' He was among just 22 House Dems last year who voted to censure Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for spreading false information about the Oct. 7 invasion by Hamas.
