Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) denied an apology from celebrity father Mohamed Hadid after a report emerged that he had sent the New York Democrat several homophobic and racist messages.

Hadid, who is Palestinian and is the father of models Bella and Gigi Hadid, has been outspoken over his opposition to Israel, even comparing the Jewish state’s war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza to the tactics of Nazi Germany. Torres has been a fierce defender of Israel in its war in Gaza, which followed the Hamas terrorist attacks last Oct. 7.
