New York Republicans Choose Mazi Melesa Pilip, an IDF Veteran, to Succeed George Santos

Legal Insurrection: New York Republicans chose Nassau County legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip, an Orthodox Jew, as their nominee for the special election for George Santos’s seat.

The special election will happen on February 13, 2024.

The House of Representatives expelled Santos due to numerous allegations and indictments. Still no word on what the Senate will do to Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ).

Pilip was born in the late 1970s in Ethiopia. Her family moved to Israel when she was 12. She’d later become an elite paratrooper in the IDF.

PJ Media’s Stephen Green mentioned how Jerusalem brought in thousands of Ethiopian Jews in the past 40 years. Operation Solomon airlift in 1991 carried Pilip and almost 20,000 Jews to Israel.

Pilip earned a degree in occupational therapy at the University of Haifa and a master’s in diplomacy at the University of Tel Aviv.

Pilip met Adalbert Pilip, a Ukrainian-American, at the University of Haifa. They are married and have seven kids.

This is where it gets interesting. Pilip is a registered Democrat but has run for political office as a Republican. more

  1. Were NY Reps honest Republicans they’d chosen Santos! I think, not know ,they are “Bush Republicans”.

    Santos real crimes were calling out UNIPARTY! Naming UNIPARTY names!

    UNIPARTY has been strong for 64 years because UNIPARTY defends UNIPaRTY, Ais ruthles in defense of UNiPARTY.
    Doubt me? Ask Santos!
