#Republicans & some #journalists are pushing the cynical & false narrative that #antisemitism doomed Shapiro’s candidacy.

#JoshShapiro, speaking at the #HarrisWalz rally in #Philadelphia, stressed that the #election is about #freedom arguing #Republicans aren’t committed to it as they claim to be.

#Shapiro said it isn’t “freedom” to tell #children what #books they are allowed to read, to tell #workers whether they can join a #union & to tell #women what to do w/their #bodies.
