Brooklyn, NY – Today, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) released the following statement in the wake of the death of Mr. Menachem Stark:

“The New York Post crossed the line of journalistic decency with its sensational coverage of the death of Menachem Stark.   A wife has lost a husband.  Children have lost a father.  The community has lost a philanthropist. During this period of mourning, they all deserve better. The New York Post should retract its shocking front page story immediately and issue an apology to the family.”
