NEW YORK
Failed Messiah

Yossi Gestetner, who served as a spokesperson for the massive Williamsburg fundraising event for hasidic pedophile Nechemya Weberman, was hired by Thompson’s campaign as a consultant to set up events in the hasidic community.
Gestetner was dumped by the New York State Republican party last year, which had hired him to be its Jewish liaison, after it learned about Gestetner’s role in that Weberman fundraiser and about Gestetner’s affiliation with a vehemently anti-Zionist hasidic group. Ken Thompson hired him anyway.
Months ago, Brooklyn D.A. Charles J. Hynes’s primary campaign was allegedly negotiating with Gestetner with the aim of hiring him as a consultant to do much of the same things Gestetner is now doing for Thompson. But that deal apparently was never finalized and both Hynes and Gestetner at the time denied it.
