A New York City lawmaker told a Jewish audience that she knows what it was like for Israeli soldiers to fight in the Six Day War because she's "a Republican in New York City."

When you think about the small army at the time that Israel had and that they were confronted with five armies -- I mean, I'm a Republican in New York City so I can kind of understand what they may have been going through or thinking," Malliotakis said, according to the report, which included a link to the recorded Zoom call.
