News 12 spoke with Rockland Legislator Beth Davidson after Rep. Mike Lawler demanded that she apologize for her participation and speech outside his Pearl River office.
Demonstrators there carried signs depicting swastikas and a Trump mask with an added Hitler mustache.
Davidson, a Democrat of Jewish faith, is running for Lawler’s 17th Congressional District seat in 2026. She says she did not see the sign and would have said something if she had.
"This is just the dirty, partisan politics that people are tired of, and I offer a new kind of leadership,” she told News 12.
In a statement, Indivisible Rockland – the group who organized the protest – says the sign is “absolutely unacceptable" and calls out Republican politicians in Rockland for “mock outrage.”
