Washington – The Anti-Defamation League decried a conservative senator who is blocking the confirmation of an Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner because of her views on marriage equality.

Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, says Chai Feldblum, a lesbian who was first nominated by President Barack Obama, has views outside the mainstream and would assail traditional marriages. “Don’t think for a second that you, your family, and your neighbors will be left alone if Feldblum gets her way,”he said earlier this year in a post on his Senate website.
Feldblum calls Lee’s claims “surreal” and has said on the Medium blogging site that he has ripped her words out of context.
The Equal Employment Opportunity “protects critical workplace civil rights,” the Jewish civil rights organization said on Dec. 19 on Twitter. “It is unacceptable for @SenMikeLee to block the reappointment of @chaifeldblum, the first openly LGBTQ member. Her views on marriage equality are not ‘radical;’ they are the law of the land.”
President Donald Trump has renominated Feldblum, who grew up Orthodox. Lee is using his senatorial power to block the nomination. The failure to move her nomination through the Senate could leave the EEOC without a quorum next year.
Orthodox Jewish lessbian”, talk about an oxymoron!
Why does the header call her orthodox?
Fake news .
She’s not Orthodox
Good for him. A conservative shld lecture a Jew? How shameful! Btw, Orthodox Jewish and Lesbian is like saying a decent freak. Doesnt go togethr. Its either this or that. Shes a freaky creepy thing not an orthodox Jew by any stretch if imagination. How surreal! Go Senator Lee!
Wikipedia says she left “Orthodox Judaism” in her youth, and the she is “openl lesbian”. I would not describe someone who “left” orthodoxy and is “openly” transgressing Jewish law as “Orthodox” as the title of this piece suggests.
Who says she is or was orthodox? This is the best representing Jewish interests? Disgusting.
I support Mike Lee even though I voted for Trump.
Who grew up orthodox , meaning she is no longer orthodox .Fake news to make her look orthodox.
In reality, as R gifter said years ago? There are no orthodox or reform Jews. There are only one real group of Jews . Torah jews and they are the only ones that count
Her parents were orthodox, she is definitely not orthodox. She has a partner too.
The title is wrong and she’s not orthodox but she is respected and effective. This is a reappontment and unless she did something unacceptable, which she didn’t, she deserves it.
She a radical leftist lesbian who is anti the religious freedom of anyone who doesn’t support gay marriage or transgenderism.
Oh and she isn’t orthodox fake news headline
Obama was promoting family breakdown. He increased same sex ‘marriages’ and acceptance of perverts to adopt children. His perverted moral outlook still remains in the US.
This pervert is a left over from Obama’s moral lowering period.
ADL is headed by dem flak named Greenblatt – a lefty who should not represent us.
Mike Lee is a better goy than many “Jews” are yiddin!
What he’s doing is nothing different than any other senator or congressperson ever ever do does.
Some of these posting emanate from outer space. Does anybody honestly believe that there are no gay or lesbian people, even in the frum community? Get real people. I am not endorsing their life style, but such people do exist in our society. As long as they don’t bother me, or try to impose their life style on the majority, I say, let them live in peace.
Halachicallly there is nothing wrong with being a lesbian. It’s only a problem for men. I see no issue here. Carry on
Typical fake news headlines from the liberal media.
