Ezra Levy, Heshy Tischler, Sara Shulevitz and Mindy Meyer before Friday’s hearing and guilty plea
A Borough Park firebrand and New York City Council candidate pleaded guilty on Friday to charges of “inciting to riot” for whipping up a crowd that attacked a Hasidic journalist last fall during a protest against coronavirus restrictions that morphed into a pro-Trump rally.
During a virtual hearing, the candidate, Heshy Tischler admitted that he egged on a crowd against the journalist, Jacob Kornbluh, who was working for Jewish Insider at the time and now is the Forward’s senior political reporter.
“I welcome the fact that Mr. Tischler acknowledged in the court of law that he incited a riot against me and has been held accountable for his actions,” Kornbluh said afterward. “I am looking forward to continuing my work in journalism undeterred.”
