Dad of suspected terrorist Elias Rodriguez was invited to Trump address by left-wing Democratic lawmaker – New York Post

Eric Rodriguez, father of suspected terrorist Elias, "represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people,” Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García said at the time. “His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: we will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns.”
