VIN News – Brooklyn, NY – In a follow up to last week’s exclusive VIN News video interview with democratic congressional candidate David Weprin, VIN News talks with businessman Bob Turner, the republican contender in the upcoming September 13th primary for Anthony Weiner’s recently vacated congressional seat in a district that encompasses several largely Jewish neighborhoods.

Endorsed by former mayor Ed Koch as the candidate who will be the most effective ally to Israel, the 70 year old former cable company executive calls Israel America’s “outpost in that area” and insists that the United States must respect Israel’s sovereignty. Turner also maintains that developing democracy and true freedom in the Arab world is of great importance and will benefit both Israel and the Western world.

Turner explains his economic views including why he is in favor of tax breaks and credits for private school parents and why it is important for the government to invest money in the private sector and small businesses.
