Ezra Friedlander outside the WH Hanukkah Party

Ezra Friedlander tells JI’s Aaron Magid while waiting in the line to get into the event: “I don’t consider this a partisan event at all. I happen to be a registered Democrat myself. When you are invited by the president of the United States, I think it’s an insult to the presidency and to the country not to attend, regardless of who the occupant of the White House.”
