Democrat rips NY Mag 'anti-Israel hit piece' on him using wrong photo: 'Not all Black people look the same'

Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., took New York Magazine to task for using another Black politician’s photo in what he called an “anti-Israel hit piece” targeting him.

On Friday, New York Magazine published an article targeting Torres, former Rep. Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y., and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., for their outspoken support for Israel since Oct. 7. They came under criticism for saying they no longer identify with the progressive movement, with Torres recently saying, “I didn’t leave the progressive movement; the progressive movement left me.”

“Torres is not a hypocrite. If we take him at his word, he’s been a Zionist for a long time. But he’s not being entirely truthful about the progressive movement or his place within it either. The movement didn’t leave him: He left it, if indeed he was ever fully part of it, by making a series of deliberate choices. One such choice is to support Israel despite the unbelievable brutality it has inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza,” Sarah Jones of New York Magazine’s Intelligencer wrote.

Featured at the top of the article was an illustration that included Fetterman, Jones and Democratic New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, who was not mentioned in the piece, instead of Torres.

The magazine’s error went viral and quickly caught the attention of the Democratic lawmaker.

“If New York Magazine is going to publish an Anti-Israel hit piece by Sarah Jones, then at least do enough due diligence to get the photo right. I am not Antonio Delgado,” Torres scolded the magazine.

“Not all Black people look the same,” he added.

The illustration in the article was later updated to include Torres’ image and remove Delgado.

An editor’s note was also added to the bottom of the article reading, “A photo-illustration in a previous version of this story incorrectly included Antonio Delgado, not Ritchie Torres.”

New York Magazine’s parent company Vox Media did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Torres and Fetterman have emerged as two of the most prominent pro-Israel voices in the Democratic Party since Israel launched its military response in Gaza following Hamas’ terrorist attack last year.

Last week, Fetterman told HBO’s Bill Maher of progressivism, “I didn’t leave the label, it left me.”

“After what happened on October 7, I really knew that whole progressive stack would be blasted apart and there would not be any kind of way how the Democrats are going to be able to reply to that kind of response,” Fetterman said. “And I really decided early on that I believe that was gonna be the right side with Israel throughout all of that… Democrats would continue to peel away and kind of walk away from standing with Israel on that.”

How ‘The Wire’ Star Jamie Hector Spends a Hot Day in Brooklyn

Nearly two decades have passed since “The Wire” ended, yet Jamie Hector’s haunting turn as the drug kingpin Marlo Stanfield still resonates. Jay-Z recently referred to the character during a freestyle at the Roots Picnic.

“I respect the fact that artists find time to appreciate another artist in that way,” Mr. Hector said. “I consider the work that we do at the highest level with great art. His is literary. His is over a track, making you feel, and mine was visual.”

Mr. Hector, 50, also a director, producer and children’s book author, has devoted much of his life to the arts as one of television’s most compelling, understated figures, currently seen in Apple TV’s “Cape Fear.”

He splits his time between his family, dramatic roles, his own projects and shepherding the next generation of artists. Mr. Hector spent a recent blistering Thursday in Brooklyn with The New York Times.

Red Sox win 7th straight game just hours after landing in New York

Are the Boston Red Sox back?

They’re certainly on the right track.

Boston won its seventh consecutive game Friday night, 6-2, in its series opener against the New York Mets. The victory improved its record to 44-48, which moved the club even closer to .500 on the year.

On top of that, the win was the Red Sox’ 12th in their last 14 games.

Immediately after the final out was recorded, Boston found itself 1.5 games back of the American League’s third wild-card spot.

The win was even sweeter considering the team’s severe issues they experienced in attempting to reach Citi Field.

After they were supposed to have departed Chicago at 9:45 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday night following their series sweep of the White Sox, the Red Sox’ team plane was grounded until 3 p.m. ET on Friday. Weather delays on Thursday kept them at their gate, and then mechanical problems on Friday prolonged their stay on the tarmac well into the afternoon.

Friday’s game with the Mets was originally scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m., but was pushed back until 7:50 due to Boston not landing at LaGuardia Airport until shortly after 4:30 p.m.

Starting pitcher Sonny Gray did not travel to New York ahead of time, which some starters do to get settled before their outing.

Nevertheless, the Red Sox de facto ace continued his stretch of utterly dominant pitching.

Gray tossed six innings of one-run ball, struck out three, and walked one on 91 pitches (53 strikes). He added an 11th win to his personal record in what has been an excellent season for the veteran right-hander.

Boston’s bullpen was nails, too — Tyron Guerrero, Garrett Whitlock, and Greg Weissert finished the game off in the final three innings after Gray exited. Weissert allowed New York’s second and final run in the ninth on a solo home run, but that was all she wrote in the runs column.

Offensively, the Red Sox’ bats stayed hot in what has been an unprecedented turnaround by the entire team at the plate.

Masataka Yoshida got things going in the first inning with a two-run double, but Boston was quiet until the seventh when Anthony Seigler broke things open. He hit a two-run homer to extend the lead, his second of the year, and was fired up as he rounded the bases.

After the game, Apple TV’s Heidi Watney asked Seigler how he had so much energy following the travel issues the team encountered earlier in the day. He said the club simply knew they would have to persevere, and they did just that on the diamond.

“I think that’s just how we are. It’s this whole team. It doesn’t just start with one person. I think it’s just everybody in the locker room,” Seigler said. “We were dealt some adversity today, obviously. But it doesn’t matter. We knew we were gonna come out here and handle our business, and we did.”

He even said he felt like he could suit up for another game immediately after the win.

“I mean, I feel like we could go another nine (innings) if we needed to, honestly, with how we’re going,” Seigler said with a smile.

Seigler, who came to Boston in the Caleb Durbin trade in February, has been a total, albeit unlikely, spark plug since joining the team last month. Through 20 games, he’s slashing .292/.378/.477 with an .855 OPS, and has hit at the top of the order.

Wilyer Abreu joined in on the fun with a two-run shot of his own in the ninth to cap the Red Sox’ scoring. He finally got a hold of one after coming within feet of hitting a homer in the fifth inning.

Boston’s offensive surge couldn’t have come at a better time. The front office has yet to decide whether they will be buyers or sellers at next month’s trade deadline; the team’s hot streak could prevent chief baseball officer Craig Breslow from blowing the roster up entering the second half.

The Red Sox are still four games below .500, but capping off the first half of what was a tumultuous start to the season with a win streak and multiple series sweeps could be just what the doctor ordered with the dog days of summer looming.

“We’re just putting great at-bats together, the whole lineup from top to bottom,” Seigler said of what’s gone right lately. “Our starter, Sonny, all of them, they just speak for themselves. And then our bullpen does a great job coming in behind them.

“It’s just fun to be around everybody. We believe in each other. Everything’s contagious. We’re all bringing high energy every day.”
