Why Does YWN Ignore GOP Antisemites

They aren’t nearly as popular and powerful as the Dem antisemites who want to destroy Israel

Crazy,

‘I hope that my posts will help offset the biased one sided “reporting” though realistically I know that they likely will not I pray that it helps break the idol worship of this false deity.’

How many converts to this crusade do you estimate you’ve won with your daily dose of similar-sounding threads? Just curious.

Crazy,

I’m not a convert nor am I on the way to becoming one; I already have a religion. I don’t access either of those sites and perhaps that’s also why I don’t see agents of the former President lurking around every corner. You may want to lay off of those two yourself.

>>>Paul Gosar and MTG spoke at a pro Russia white nationalist event led by well known anti semite Nick Fuentes.

The event they attended wasn’t inherently anti-Semitic and neither of them said anything remotely anti-Semitic at the event. I have no idea what MTG and PG privately think but one thing is certain: The Jewish community making a major about an event they attended and calling them anti-Semites is guaranteed to send them in that direction.

>>>One can only imagine the large OUTRAGE headline if it was AOC or Ilhan Omar.

I don’t remember any large OUTRAGE headline over AOC or Ilhan Omar attending events organized by anti-Semites. And they do so all the time!

>>>Is antisemitism merely a tool to use against political enemies?

Quite ironic that you would ask that question because that is exactly what you are doing with this post

Most traditional Dems know they have a growing number of crazies on their left (including some unquestionable anti-Semites claiming to be anti-Israel). Some of our regular right-wing zealots invoke their regular mantras that all Dems are communists, apikorsim, anti-semitim etc. but kvel when their Trump acolytes engage in some truly outrageous behavior, post blatantly racist and anti-Semitic memes , etc. and attend white racist/supremacist gatherings while claiming they had “no idea” of their sponsorship. The GOP as we know it has been transformed into the party of Trump whoever adulates Donald is OK no matter what else they may have said or done.

“Paul Gosar and MTG spoke at a pro Russia white nationalist event led by well known anti semite Nick Fuentes. This is not the first time they have attended such an event. ”

Both claimed they “did not know” that Fuentes is a rabid white supremacist and anti-Semite. Sound familiar??

Does anyone remember Trump’s absurd claim just before Super Tuesday back in 2016 primaries that he “knows nothing” about former KKK leader David Duke, America’s most well known white supremacist and initially refused to disavow Duke’s endorsement of his candidacy.
When confronted by reporters about Duke, Trump claimed ignorance multiple times:

“Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. okay? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know anything”

“I don’t know, did he endorse me or what’s going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you’re asking me a question that I’m supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about. …

“I don’t know any — honestly, I don’t know David Duke. I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him.”

Then, after denying he had refused to disavow Duke’s endorsement (in an interview readily available on tape) , his campaign ultimately did issue a rejection of Duke and white supremacists…..only to be followed months later by his even more memorable assertion that “there are good people on BOTH sides” after the Nazi march in Charlottesville.
Do Gosar and MTG believe that Fuentes one of those “Good Nazis”??

Donald Trump has been the most Jews friendly president since Washington.

I will respectfully disagree.
Among the many things part of the Republican platform:
– Anti- abortion
– Less regulation on businesses
– stronger border
– against bail reform/ for stronger policing
– for a stronger military
etc.
You may disagree with any one of these or all of these (which I can’t believe because you are for sure anti abortion but whatever).

Trump was never my first choice. I despise his morals, his personality and I honestly think he’s a sick narcissist. But as a Republican conservative I will agree that he enacted a lot of great policies.

Not every Republican is good. There are anti semites on both sides and YWN should call them all out.
I honestly think there are many more anti semites on the left which is why they receive more coverage.
Also, when looking who’s anti semitic one has to look at their action and policies together with their words as a package.

Yes, the squad gets called out more often because look at their words, their actions and the policies they support.

Trump may have said some anti-semitic remarks but look at his actions (he was good for Israel, freed Rebashkin and some other frum Jews etc.) and policies.

To the original “question” – probably because they are incredible nobodies. Unlike the Democratic anti-semites, who dominate a major wing of the Democratic party, Republican anti-semites are marginalized.

“Trump may have said some anti-semitic remarks but look at his actions (he was good for Israel, freed Rebashkin and some other frum Jews etc.

I can’t believe anyone thinks Trump’s last minute pardons to some well-connected Jewish felons who spent big dollars on lawyers and lobbyists is a reason to ignore his blatant racism and implicit support for white nationalists and extreme right wing evangelicals whose anti-semitic theology is a bad as it gets. His recent dark turn towards demonizing Netanyahu shows how quickly he will turn on his “friends” when they defy his lust for adulation. He will throw his own “Jewish” children under the bus (and back it up a few times) if it will serve his maniacal craze to regain power.

I am not sure why we are complaining about GOP associated anti-semites not being discussed as a news item on YWN, when clearly there are liberal ones regularly posting in these forums.

MTG is the most marginalized member of Congress. Paul Gosar is nobody. No reason to condemn and thereby give publicity to the ones who are being ignored anyway. AOC and the squad are front and center in the Democratic Party.

A lot of republicans are anti semitic in believing rothchild and soros runs the world, AKA globalist.
there are 2 factions in republican party ! is the standard conservative less taxes less spending, strong military ect. then there are the far right wing that believes america first means america isolated.
That the goverment should shut down big corparations like nike amazon facebook ect since it doesn’t fit our agenda. This is not conservatism, just far right radicals that have become mainstream in last 10 years.

crazy, American political system revolves around 2 parties, so, inevitably, crazies (pardon me) will belong in both parties and they vote. The trick is to keep crazies under 25% on each side, then majority of Ds and Rs will elect moderates within their parties. Maybe someone can count how many Reps in each party belong to the crazy wing. I agree that we here see more of crazy Ds as most of us probably live in blue states. I presume Jewish community in Alabama has a different perspective.

An alternative is to have a multi-party system, like in Italy or Israel, where crazies form their own parties and have representation in parliament. They can then have much larger platform and get influence on their specific interests. It is “more democratic” but historically does not seem more stable. (See: Weimar Republic)
