During an interview that was aired on Friday’s broadcast of PBS’s “Firing Line,” Rep. Ritchie Torres lamented that the “progressive movement” has now taken the positions of “defunding the police or abolishing the police.” And “BDS or a one-state solution to the exclusion of Israel.”
While discussing his departure from the progressive movement, Torres said, “hen I first ran, back in 2013, the progressive position on policing was police reform. Today, it’s become defunding the police or abolishing the police. Back then, the progressive on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the two-state solution. Now, it’s BDS or a one-state solution to the exclusion of Israel. And so, I have felt alienated from what the progressive movement has become, because it has become radicalized.
