The father of the terror suspect accused of gunning down two soon-to-be-engaged Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum was honored by a far-left member of Congress.
“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) said Thursday night.
In March, he hailed Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”

On Thursday, Rodriguez’s son, Elias, was charged in federal court with two counts of first-degree murder and other charges in the cold-blooded slayings of Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, as the Israeli Embassy employees left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.
"He followed Sarah as she crawled away in agony after he shot her. He followed her and shot her again. He shot her from the back. He executed her in cold blood. He fired at least 21 9mm bullets at them. Thats how many cartridge casings were found." https://t.co/zg3aAE4GaA

Rodriguez didn’t just kill Sarah and Yaron, he made sure to finish them. He followed Sarah as she crawled away in agony after he shot her, then stopped to reload his firearm and shot her again. A total of 21 expended 9mm cartridge casings were recovered.
“The newly filed charges filed against Elias Rodriguez expose the depravity and callousness of the murders. He didn’t just kill Sarah and Yaron- he made sure to finish them.

Guy Christensen told his 3.4 million TikTok followers that the murder of Yarin and Sarah last night in Washington, D.C. was an "act of resistance" and justified, and every Israeli embassy staffer should be hunted down and murdered.

The staffers, Sarah Milgrim, 26, and Yaron Lischinsky, 30, were a couple and known figures in the Israeli-American political community in Washington.
The couple planned to visit Jerusalem next week, where Lischinsky was going to propose to Milgrim.
“The young man purchased a ring this week,” Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter told reporters.
Police arrested Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year old Chicago native.
Rodriguez allegedly approached a group of four people attending the American Jewish Committee’s annual Young Diplomats Reception shortly after 9 p.m., before opening fire at close range, killing Milgrim and Lischinsky.
He then walked into the museum, where he waved a red keffiyeh. As he was arrested he shouted, “free, free Palestine.”
The FBI is investigating the killings as an act of terror.
