Jose Vega Announces Run for Congress (Strange Bedfellows, Ep. 26)

#Peace activist Jose Vega announced today that he will launch a bid to unseat incumbent Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres in New York's District 15. (The Bronx)

Vega made the announcement this afternoon on the Jimmy Dore Show, saying he is running for Congress to "stop the #genocide in #Gaza" and called Rep. Torres -- who strongly supports #Israel in the war against #Hamas-- a "genocide denier."

Tonight on Episode 26 we welcome back Jose Vega and Kynan Thistlewaithe of the Schiller Institute. This is their second appearance on "Strange Bedfellows" (they first appeared on Episode 8 last July).

We will discuss the reasons why Vega has decided to throw his hat in the political ring, the key issues his campaign is focusing on, and what he plans to do for Bronx constituents.

Join us LIVE from 9-11 P.M. Eastern for "Strange Bedfellows."
