Re:
Antisemitism Within The Piermont Democratic Committee (PDC)
The Village of Piermont, New York – Rockland County, New York
Ms. Marthe Schulwolf, PDC Member And PDC Candidate For Re-Election
 
Dear Attorney General Blanche, Assistant Attorney General Dhillon, and Deputy Director Gilmartin:
 
I am an attorney and reside in the Town of Orangetown, New York. Seeking oversight, I have contacted agencies in the past with certain disquieting findings regarding the Village of Piermont, located in the Town of Orangetown and Rockland County, New York. My understanding is that Village of Piermont government is already under New York State Comptroller Audit and law-enforcement investigation relating to Piermont’s finances, as of this day. Yet this new civil rights-related discovery came as a surprise. I will explain.
 
Below-linked is a full transcript (“Transcript”) of the Piermont Democratic Committee (PDC) Candidate Forum called “Meet the Committee Candidates”, held on Thursday, June 4, 2026 (the “Forum”):
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2026/06/full-pdc-transcript-thursday-june-4.html
 
The video of the so-transcribed Forum is found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Eya_AhJads
 
The Forum was held because, for the first time in memory of many Piermont residents, there is a contested choice between 7 PDC candidates for 4 openings on the PDC. June 23, 2026 is the primary election day, and early voting has already commenced.
 
When reviewing the Transcript, I was appalled to discover blatantly antisemitic remarks made by one Marthe Schulwolf. Marthe Schulwolf is a current member of the Piermont Democratic Committee and is seeking to remain on the PDC. Although some other remarks in the Transcript you will find to be ageist, sexist, and otherwise offensive - here is Marthe Schulwolf’s specific hate-speech in question and the reason for my letter to you today:
- - - - -
 
“Marthe Schulwolf: … But let me just say this. At the town and county level, what hurts us, what sometimes kills us… is that we have a severe... distortion in Rockland County politics. We have the town of Ramapo, and… also Haverstraw to a degree, where you have the Ultra-Orthodox voting blocs. Register as Democrats, they put Democrats in the County Legislature so they can control the majority and be the majority, and then they vote, exclusively, to a like 90, 95% for Trump and Lawler. And they also are, of course… very authoritarian, structured, cultish societies that do what the rabbis tell them to do. Their values are far more in tune with the Republican Party. They don’t believe in gender or racial equality. And the fact that they control the local… they have taken over the Rockland County Democratic Party. We have worked very hard in Orangetown, and we hope that this Fall we can take it back. They did get one of their people to become the Democratic Commissioner of Elections. Hopefully she’s following the law. She is the daughter of the…
 
[Moderator] Chris Sanders: Time.
 
Marthe Schulwolf: Ramapo Chair…
 
[Moderator] Chris Sanders: Time, Marthe.
 
Marthe Schulwolf: …who is an ultra-Orthodox.
 
[Moderator] Chris Sanders: Thank you.
 
Marthe Schulwolf: Severe problem.”

I know not what Marthe Schulwolf’s own religious, ethnic, or cultural background may be, but it does not matter here. After all, she expressly excluded herself from the calculation of “they” and “their people” when referring to “Ultra-Orthodox”[her words]. Marthe Schulwolf spoke as a member of the Piermont Democratic Committee, ostensibly for the Democratic Party generally, and as a candidate for renewed public office as a public official in New York State. Even in the heat of a political contest, Marthe Schulwolf had absolutely no right to willfully and intentionally disparage the “Ultra-Orthodox”[her words] as “cultish societies that do what the rabbis tell them to do”, and “who don’t believe in gender or racial equality”. Her reference to “one of their people” was similarly repugnant and wholly dissonant with respect to what are purported to be traditional Democratic Party principles. Piermont is a liberal village almost wholly comprised of Democrats. I am surprised that not one Piermont resident in the room stopped Marthe Schulwolf, or apparently even sought to stop her, as she was making these loathsome comments on June 4, 2026. Perhaps they were all too shocked by Schulwolf’s comments to do so. Or perhaps many in the room are complicit in them.
 
In any event, Marthe Schulwolf had no right to demean, degrade, and disparage a faith - an entire group of people, an entire class of people – my own neighbors in Rockland County - particularly for the purposes of her own self-serving political benefit. Her intolerant comments made in that setting violate the United States Constitution, the New York State Constitution, and, I have to believe, federal and state civil rights laws as well.
 
250 years ago this country was founded by those seeking free exercise of religion. I was born the son of two New York City artists in show business who raised me in the spirit of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King. My father was U.S. Army crypto and intel. JFK was his Commander-in-Chief. Years later, JFK Jr. and I became schoolmates in Manhattan. The Democratic Party of those days always purported to stand for equality and non-discrimination. Apparently, no more, though.
 
I am asking that your office of the Attorney General of the United States please commence a plenary investigation of the so-called “Piermont Democratic Committee” and an investigation of Ms. Marthe Schulwolf individually, given Ms. Schulwolf’s wholly-wrongful and repulsive remarks publicly-made as a member of the Piermont Democratic Committee.
 
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
 
Respectfully submitted,

John J. Tormey III, Esq.

Vote Sexist. Vote Bigot. Vote Liar. Vote SCHULWOLF.

Her bigotry - in the hateful and abhorrent form of her antipathy towards the “Ultra-Orthodox”[her words] - is already well-documented. Here. Read her own words for yourself:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2026/06/request-for-new-york-state-attorney.html

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-full-pdc-transcript-and-stench-of.html

Don’t want to click-through the whole transcript? That’s OK. Here’s some of the worst of it:

“[01:04:06,960] Marthe Schulwolf:

... We have the town of Ramapo, and… also Haverstraw to a degree, where you have the Ultra-Orthodox voting blocs. Register as Democrats, they put Democrats in the County Legislature so they can control the majority and be the majority, and then they vote, exclusively, to a like 90, 95% for Trump and Lawler.

Marthe Schulwolf then repeated that same antipathy for the “Ultra-Orthodox”[her words] in her letter of June 8, 2026, published by Preserve Piermont this week. The relevant excerpt from Marthe Schulwolf’s June 8, 2026 Nastygram is immediately below. Then, the full text of her June 8, 2026 Nastygram follows thereafter. All right here. In Marthe Schulwolf’s words:

There is nothing at all funny about Marthe Schulwolf’s blatant and apparently thusfar-unchecked bigotry, particularly when you consider that Marthe Schulwolf is saying these stupid things as a candidate for public office and an existing public official. But her presumptuous sexism, on the other hand, is beyond laughable. Here. Again. Read Marthe Schulwolf’s own fahrkakt words:

“Marthe Schulwolf

[01:21:45,510 et seq.] They’re eager to unseat those two women … these people have not shown a huge amount of interest in that, OK? Mr. Gordon attended one because I recruited him to do that. But in any case, they haven’t shown a huge amount of interest in that. Having a village committee is an optional extra. And the reason you have a very active, hardworking village committee is because you have these two women...

 

Chris Sanders

[ 01:24:54,150 ] Thank you, Marthe. Thank you.

 

Marthe Schulwolf

[ 01:24:54,690 ] It’s because you have them. And men don’t do that kind of work. 

 

[Voice Off-Camera]
[ 01:24:59,710 ] That’s right.”
[Emphasis added].

Or, here. Read more of Marthe Schulwolf’s offensive sexism in her own idiotic words, expressed 4 days later in the text of her letter of June 8, 2026:

Yet hold on to your cigars. The really big news today, is that Marthe Schulwolf also lies like a carpet - just like her political hack crony Margaret Grace of the so-called Piermont “Democratic” Committee or “PDC”:

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2026/06/when-margaret-graces-pants-caught-fire.html

And it is not at all coincidental that both Marthe Schulwolf and Margaret Grace lied about the very same issue. They each lied about Kevin Timoney’s past. They each stated the same lie - as if they first scripted it with each other, out of their small-time corrupt little nest. They each lied that Kevin Timoney is a “lifelong Democrat”. But Kevin Timoney is not a “lifelong Democrat”. Rather, before Kevin Timoney registered as a Democrat, he registered as a REPUBLICAN in Rockland County. The evidence was published here to this Blog, long ago:

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/research-report-reveals-piermont.html

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2026/06/when-margaret-graces-pants-caught-fire.html

Look:

Witnesses lie all the time when giving testimony in proceedings. However, it is a rare occurrence when one can immediately produce an already-published document to prove that perjuring witness to be a bald flat-out liar. By analogy thereto, today we find the contemptible case of Marthe Schulwolf. While not a testifying witness in a court proceeding under oath perhaps, Marthe Schulwolf, like her sketchy confederate Margaret Grace, is another political hack seeking to prop-up her own “candidacy” for Piermont Democratic Committee, as well as the “candidacy” of Kevin Timoney for Piermont Village Trustee. Marthe Schulwolf does this out of her continued and inexplicable warped sycophantic fealty for disgraced Garmento Ex-Mayor Bruce Tucker. Kevin Timoney is Bruce Tucker’s anoint. 

Therefore, on June 8, 2026, Marthe Schulwolf distributed her ordurous missive to her fellow inner-circle Rivercrats wherein Schulwolf actually attested that her pal Kevin Timoney is a “lifelong Democrat”.
 
Kevin Timoney... A “lifelong Democrat”...
 
Of course, that was a flat-out bald lie on the part of Piermont’s Marthe Schulwolf. Kevin “Laptop-Boy” Timoney was a registered REPUBLICAN. For YEARS. His Rockland County government voter-registration record is printed above, and right here at this below link. These same documents have been republished at this Blog since October of 2025 for everyone to see, including Piermont’s Marthe Schulwolf and her sordid buddy Margaret Grace:

For those who enjoy reading how ersatz public officials like Marthe Schulwolf lie their tuchus off, I now give you the full text of Schulwolf’s June 8, 2026 letter:

This June 23rd, 2026, you have a great opportunity to sweep the political hack detritus out of Piermont for good.

Take that opportunity.

PIERMONT: DUMP The LOSERS! Defeat Timoney. Defeat Blomquist. Defeat Scheulen. Defeat Hardy. Defeat Grace. Defeat Schulwolf.

Piermont's Secret Society Illuminati: Insult Them, And You Insult The Whole Trailer-Park.

When Margaret Grace's Pants Caught Fire.

Unfortunately, witnesses lie all the time when giving testimony in proceedings.

 
However, it is a rare occurrence when one can produce an immediate set of published documents already contained in the public record, to prove that perjuring witness to be a bald flat-out liar.
 
By analogy thereto, today we address the preposterous case of one Margaret Grace of Piermont, New York. While not a testifying witness in a court proceeding under oath perhaps, Margaret Grace is a political hack seeking to prop-up her own “candidacy” for Piermont Democratic Committee, as well as the “candidacy” of Kevin “Laptop-Boy” Timoney for Piermont Village Trustee. Margaret Grace does this out of her continued and inexplicable warped sycophantic fealty for disgraced Garmento Ex-Mayor Bruce Tucker. Therefore, one week ago on June 4, 2026, at the Piermont Democratic Committee (PDC) Candidate Forum, on camera, while she knew she was being recorded, Margaret Grace actually attested that her buddy Kevin “Laptop-Boy” Timoney is a “lifelong Democrat”.
 
Kevin Timoney. A “lifelong Democrat”.
 
Of course, that was a flat-out bald lie on the part of Piermont’s Margaret Grace. Kevin “Laptop-Boy” Timoney was a registered REPUBLICAN. For YEARS! His Rockland County government voter-registration documents are right here at this link – and those documents have been republished at this link since October of 2025 for everyone to see, including Piermont‘s Margaret Grace:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/research-report-reveals-piermont.html
 
For those who enjoy reading how ersatz public officials like Margaret Grace lie their tuchus off in a public forum while stumbling all over their own words, I give you the transcript of the June 4, 2026 Forum here, in relevant part:
 
“Chris Sanders. [00:22:58,320] … All right. Getting started. Margaret [Grace], many voters are not clear on what local party Committee members do. How would you educate Democratic voters about the Committee’s role and make the work of the Committee more visible, transparent, and relevant?... 1 minute.
 
Margaret Grace. [00:23:32,760] Um[sic]… yeah[sic]… I think actually the Committee’s… uh[sic]… quite… visible because we do a lot of door-to-door knocking. We do film[sic] banks, and… um[sic]… a lot of campaign[sic] on behalf of many candidates to[sic]… with the villagers…um[sic]… in Piermont. I think our biggest responsibility as Committee people… is to look for and encourage Democrats to run for office. I was thrilled… I was being referred to… I was thrilled to have an opportunity to bring another Democrat into the last race, that Democrat being Kevin Timoney. He was too late to join the... um[sic]… to join the…um[sic]… uh[sic]… Democratic…uh[sic]… um[sic]… primary, but was able to run as an independent... He’s a great Democrat and lifelong Democrat. So[sic]… um[sic]… and I’ve also looked, and over the years, found many people, both here… oh[sic]… both here in… uh[sic]… Piermont, in Orangetown, and in Rockland County. I’ve sought out and grown many candidates for the positions, different public positions. To me, that’s our most important… task. 

[Bold-face emphasis added].
 
Chris Sanders. [ 00:24:35,070 ] Thank you, Margaret...”
