De Blasio also told the forum he’s so incensed with AIPAC that he bluntly let the group know he has no interest in its endorsement. When contacted by The Post, the ex-mayor insisted he still has tremendous “support” for the state of Israel, but has soured on AIPAC for endorsing candidates in the last year or so “who don’t believe in the legitimacy of the 2020 election and the Biden presidency.”
“Kaiman’s desperate desire for relevancy aside, I have a tremendous sense of personal loyalty to the Jewish community, which is underscored by real relationships with real people and leaders,” he said.
