New York State Senator Julia Salazar has fired her communications and policy director, Sarah Campbell, after Campbell's pro-Hamas tweets were revealed. The tweets, which appeared to praise or endorse Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel, led to Salazar distancing herself from the online posts by her staffers. This comes after an uproar following the revelation of the tweets. Another incident involving Ben Sasse rebuking Florida's only Jewish Republican lawmaker for claiming a UF instructor compared Israel to Nazi Germany has also emerged.
