From Fox News: Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz announced his departure from the Democratic Party, citing several “anti-Jewish” lawmakers that make up the ranks of the party and the recent Democratic National Convention in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the party’s presidential nominee.
Speaking with radio host Zev Brenner on “Talkline with Zev Brenner,” Dershowitz cited the DNC, which he said gave legitimacy to anti-Israel speakers, and anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering.
“It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I’ve experienced,” he said. “I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted.”
“I am no longer a Democrat. I am an Independent,” he added, noting that he wouldn’t reveal whom he was voting for president until possibly after Nov. 1. “I want to see how they deal with Iran. I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel.”
“When did you resign from the Democratic Party?” Brenner asked.
“Well, gradually over time. A lot of things pushed me in that direction. Kamala Harris’ failure to comply with her Constitutional obligation to preside over the Senate and House joint session for Netanyahu… and what Joe Biden said pushed me over that,” Dershowitz said.
“I think the thing that really pushed me is how the Democrats conducted their convention. I cannot be associated with the party that features as its speakers AOC, Sharpton, Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders. That’s not my party,” he declared.

Dershowitz said he will not reveal who he’s voting for in the presidential election until maybe around November 1st.
However, in late July, Dershowitz had declared, “I will not vote or contribute to any politician who boycotted Netanyahu. I am done with them. I will not do it.”
Kamala Harris did not attend Netanyahu’s address to Congress in July.
