Reid Pillifant Writes: Of all the demonstrators assembled outside of this morning’s Republican debate, the group that seemed to elicit the most curiosity from onlookers was a group of Hasidic men who’d shown up to rally against Zionism and Israel.
One of the people who stopped by to take a closer look at their banners (“Please Speak Up for the Palestinian People’s Rights; Judaism Rejects Zionism and Any Jewish State”) and inquire about their cause was Tucker Carlson, the cable news pundit turned online news proprietor.
This was after the spin room was starting to clear out after the debate, and Carlson was making his way down Main Street, away from Concord’s Capitol Arts Center where the NBC News/Facebook-hosted event had taken place.
Carlson asked the men about their message, one that’s probably familiar to attentive Williamsburg and Monsey, N.Y. residents, and listened attentively as one of them delivered it while alternating anti-Israel chants echoed in the background: “Judaism, yes! Zionism, no! State of Israel, muuust go!”
After a few minutes, Carlson took some of their literature and a business card and moved along.
