Labeled by who's speaking — Dan Goldmanvs. a host/other voice, and flagged where the source didn't specify. Don't attribute an “other” or unverified quote to Dan Goldman.
Host / other voice“Lander defeated the incumbent Goldman in a race, pitting two Jewish elected officials against each other with Landers making the case that Goldman was too supportive of Israel and their assault on Gaza, among other things.”
Host / other voice“I watch Dan Goldman, who was this actual Nepo baby who lost his primary. He's an heir to, I think, a jeans fortune that his grandparents earned, bought himself a seat in Congress and thought that he could protect himself by being super-duper anti-Trump all the time, no matter how deranged and delusional it was, and by just voting for, again, unchecked mass immigration.”
Host / other voice“Dan Goldman, he's a freaking liberal Democrat lunatic. You want to talk about one of the lead, if not the lead voice. Maybe outside of Adam Schiff, there was no one more instrumental in the weaponization of government and the attempted takedown of Donald Trump.”
Host / other voice“Dan Goldman's only sin I guess is that he thinks Israel has a right to exist and for that he's that has been the principal issue in this and you've got the mayor of new york city mom dani out saying about apak and jewish americans who have participated in our politics that they are quote monsters.”
Dan Goldman“Jews have been at the forefront of every single civil rights issue for the past century. ... anti-Semitic tropes and stereotypes, some of which I heard personally on this campaign, will ultimately be the undoing of our democracy if we all don't lean in and speak out, even if it's not politically expedient.”
Host / other voice“he's been such a thorn in the president's side and so blindly loyal to Joe Biden and was trying to tell us that he did so great at the debate. I mean, that's how much of a loyalist. He was a lot of good it did him. He lost by more than 30 points last night.”
Host / other voice“Even in losing, he does not seem to understand, and I suspect this is the case of a lot of the establishment Democrats, that there are structural problems that people have issues with that they feel the Democratic Party is not addressing.”
Host / other voice“One of the situations that occurred over the last few days and we've seen unfold was Dan Goldman with that coffee shop in the East Village. And he was berated by the coffee shop owner after the fact, after he had purchased a coffee there and his daughter had used the restroom for, and I'm just going to sum it up the way I see it for being Jewish.”
Host / other voice“Hakeem Jeffries endorsed Goldman. He endorsed his incumbent members of Congress. If he can't get the Hispanic caucus chairman across the line in a city where he's the leading figure of the political machine, that his stick is very short in the U.S. Capitol.”
Host / other voice“He went in the past couple of days to a coffee shop in New York in his district. He was there with his seven-year-old daughter to a coffee shop. He bought a $9 coffee... they saw that he was there afterwards and they said, you're an Israel loving, A-PAC-accepting, genocide-supporting nut. And so they refunded him as $9 and said, we won't take your money.”
Host / other voice“He's not even far enough to the left for what we're seeing right now with Mom Donnie and some of these Democratic socialists that are starting to, I'm sorry, Brian, they're eating, taking over whatever it is.”
Host / other voice“there's a house race between former comptroller Bradlander and incumbent Dan Goldman, where Bradlander is calling on Goldman to reject the waves of outside spending that have, you know, oftentimes shaped these Democratic primaries and come from opaque sources as well.”
