Summary
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Dennis Wecht, who was married at the Tree of Life synagogue, has left the Democratic Party, citing a rise in antisemitism within the party. He won a ten-year term last November but is now independent, criticizing the party for downplaying antisemitic incidents and symbols. His move has sparked conversation, especially following a Democratic Senate hopefuls admission of a Nazi tattoo. Wecht urges everyone to confront this hate before it causes further division.
