As Palestinian terrorist launched hundreds of rockets at Israel on Monday, New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang (D) tweeted his support for Israel and is now facing the wrath of the left.

I'm standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists. The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.

Grayzone News host Aaron Maté alluded that the former presidential candidate had no conscience when he wrote the tweet.

I’m standing with your conscience, if you have one. It’s currently under bombardment by your risible apologia for Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people, who face down constant Israeli state terrorism and cowardly US enablers — yet somehow persevere.

Chelsea Manning didn’t like what Yang had to say either, simply commenting: “Yikes.”

David Klion, writer for The Nation, accused Yang of not having Jewish friends. Because, according to him, “not all of us feel this way.”

I realize you knew approximately zero New York Jews until about six months ago, but I promise you not all of us feel this way

Diane Morales, one of Yang’s 21 opposing candidates for New York City mayor, shared her opinion without mention of Yang’s tweet. She implied Yang is a lesser candidate because “our world needs leaders who recognize humanity and the dignity in all lives.”

Our world needs leaders who recognize humanity and the dignity of all lives. Whether in NYC, Colombia, Brazil or Israel-Palestine, state violence is wrong. Targeting civilians is wrong. Killing children is wrong. Full stop.

However, Yang did rally support from the right following the tweet. Donald Trump Jr. called out the Democrats for being “pro terror.”

Do yourselves a favor and look at the quote tweets and replies to this tweet.
Dems are now legit pro terror. https://t.co/RBIGnpmyNA

Senior Advisor to former President Trump Stephen Miller even sided with Yang, who was once hoping to run against Trump.

.@AndrewYang is exactly right, @IlhanMN is outrageously wrong: https://t.co/2g1Q5BBU7x https://t.co/gzSF51uQ7W

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave Yang a pat on the back. “Bravo to Yang,” Cruz tweeted.

Bravo to Yang for opposing the rabidly pro-Hamas & anti-Israel attacks from fellow Dems Omar & Tlaib. https://t.co/E12UQ1HY8F

The View host Meghan McCain tweeted out her support for the mayoral candidate by using the “#YangGang” used for Yang’s supporters.

Search Warrants Served at AZ Nonprofit in Connection to 2020 ‘Ballot Trafficking Election Scandal’

Search warrants were served to an employee at a Yuma, Arizona nonprofit organization in connection to illegal ballot trafficking.

The ballot trafficking scheme was investigated in True The Vote and Dinesh D’Souza’s recent documentary “2000 Mules.” The documentary makes the claim that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen by illegal ballot trafficking done through nonprofit organizations.

The ballot trafficking scheme was discovered by residents in Yuma County, and the documentary features the undercover investigative work of David Lara and Arizona State Senate candidate Gary Snyder as well as the investigations of Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips.

“18 months ago, we knew that when the full story was told about Yuma County, Arizona, it would reveal systematic, systemic, ballot trafficking, with connections that spread nationwide. It’s now happening, thankfully with law enforcement fully engaged. Much more remains to be revealed in the days ahead,” said Catherine Engelbrecht to the Gateway Pundit.

Sources tell The Gateway Pundit a group from Phoenix with the Attorney General’s office executed the search warrants. Additionally, The Gateway Pundit reports:

The nonprofit facilities were not raided. However, Tony Reyes, the Executive Director of Comité de Bien Estar, confirmed to The Gateway Pundit that Comité de Bien Estar’s Membership Coordinator, Gloria Torres received search warrants at the nonprofit office, and law enforcement is looking for evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.

“That 2000 Mule Documentary is starting to permeate all throughout this process,” said Reyes.He then confirmed that officers showed up to the office, “confiscated her phone, and basically went to her house.”

Tony Reyes is also the current Chairman of the Yuma County Board of Supervisors and they run the elections in Yuma County.

Gloria Torres is a current San Luis City Council Member and Gadsden Elementary School District Board member who faced a recall effort last year stemming from her political ties to Gadsden Elementary School Board member Guillermina Fuentes.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Fuentes, who serves on the San Luis School District Board, was indicted with four class four felonies of Forgery and Conspiracy and ballot abuse in the 2020 Elections.
