A Fake Jew in the Identity-Politics Age
25th August 2018
The Other McCain peeks behind the curtain.
Julia Salazar is not Jewish. Nor is she a working-class immigrant. Her mother is an Italian Catholic from New Jersey and her father, a native of Colombia, is a commercial pilot who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1982. Julia grew up in a middle-class home in Florida and graduated from Columbia University, an elite Ivy League school where the annual cost of attendance is $80,826 including room and board.
All of this information, available from public records, was discovered by Tablet magazine for a fascinating story about how Julia Salazar invented a fictional identity as a working-class Jewish immigrant in order to run for a state senate seat in New York, as a progressive Democrat.
It’s amazing how many Fashionable Minority Victims went to Ivy League (or equivalent) schools. This chick went to Columbia; Alexandria Occasional-Cortex went to Harvard Law.
