Andrew Yang Capitulates To Backlash, Apologizes For Tweet Condemning Hamas Terrorism: ‘My Tweet Was Overly Simplistic’

On Tuesday, entrepreneur and candidate for New York City Mayor, Andrew Yang, sparked a leftist backlash after voicing support for Israel as the Jewish state fell under terrorist rocket fire from Hamas.

“I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists,” tweeted Yang. “The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.”
