(Jewish Group) Non-Jewish assemblywoman in NY targeted in anti-Semitic attack
The fact that New York state Assemblywoman Rebecca Seawright isn’t Jewish didn’t stop a vandal from leaving behind an anti-Semitic note after defacing her office.
Seawright, a Democrat whose district includes part of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, called for a police investigation into the incident at a news conference Tuesday. The intruder, whose note also included a sexist message, sprayed white paint on the office Monday night.
Seawright is a member of the Assembly’s Jewish caucus and her husband is Jewish.
