Farrakhan Speaker Concludes Anti-Semitic Remarks with "Jews are Termites" at Trayon Support Rally

Anonymous
This is interesting.........And, not surprising.

An Associated Press report said that "anti-Semitic conspiracy theories" are rampant in "DC city government" did not state that all of the lawmakers identified for anti-Jewish remarks in the story were members of the Democratic Party.

The story, published Wednesday and authored by Ashraf Khalil, bore the headline "Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories roil DC city government."

It mentioned City Councilman Trayon White, who posted a video on social media claiming that Jews control the weather; Mayor Muriel Bowser, who was present for a meeting with lawmakers including White, wherein he claimed the "Rothschilds" controlled the World Bank; D.C. Public Housing Authority board member Josh Lopez, who organized a rally to support White; and Councilman Jack Evans, who is quoted in the story as also offering words of support for White.

All four officials are registered Democrats, something the story never pointed out. Josh Lopez, the Housing Authority board member, resigned on Tuesday.

I'm sensing an underlying agenda...an ulterior motive if you will.
For some folks who've commented its quite clear that they're disgusted with antisemitism
But seems like for some other folks on here the ire is more so about antipathy towards certain political parties than disgust with hostility and prejudice towards Jews.
Which is more contemptible in your opinion...antisemitism or Democrats?
Cause it sounds like you're more disgusted with the latter and that you couldn't care less what the offense is, - antisemitism...racism...sexism...ageism...whatever.
Sounds like all you care about is wiping out evil Democrats. What's up with that?

If they were Republicans, they would have put that in the headline. But because they are all liberals, their political party is apparently not worth mentioning.

When White made his Rothschild conspiracy theory claim in a meeting, shortly before he put it on Facebook, Bowser laughed it off. IF she had come down on him, telling him that was an anti-Semitic falsehood and that type of hate speech is not tolerated, he would not have be emboldened as to out forth the same lie on Facebook.

Not the PP you're talking to, but the same could be said about all the shit said about conservatives being racists. That's all we've heard for a year and a half. So which is it....do liberals care about bigotry, or just wiping out the evil Republicans? From where I sit, plenty of them get all angry when it's conservative bigots, but makes excuses and justifications when it's coming from liberals. (Not all, but too many to ignore the hypocrisy.)

And from what we've seen play out the last couple of weeks, DC leaders are content to allow antisemitism to fester.....until there is such an uproar that they have no choice. Even with that, White has not even received a reprimand.

Nice deflection.
In any case since you ain't wanna answer the question I'll tell you what I don't like - hatred/discrimination. Don't matter to me what political party the perpetrator belongs to - if you outright hate or discriminate against a whole group of people because of their color or religion or ethnicity or sexuality or whatever, that's some bullshit and it doesn't fly for me. It isn't any more egregious when Republicans do it...it isn't any less egregious when Democrats do it...it isn't any less significant when Independents do it...
If that's how you role (shifting the gauge of your outrage based on political leanings) then more power to you but I just think that's...well...bullshit.

Wow, why so defensive? (NP here)

Who says that? I have lately enjoyed following Bill Kristol's tweets, those by David Frum, and even, on good days pieces by Andrew Sullivan. You seem to be conflating "conservatives" with DJT supporters.

Lopez has resigned and Trayon's power will only solidify and gain him more support. Testing ain't going no where and you better believe that he people in his ward only see the west side of the city as vilifying Trayon. The rest of the council knows that and so does the mayor. It's better for everyone to keep calm and carry on. To the PP, Amazon was never going to locate in DC proper, stop dreaming.

Disagree. 2 of the 4 sites offered by the city are totally viable. It checks all of Amazon's boxes and Bezos understand political power at the Federal level.

This.

Trayon's supporters, the people that sent him there in the first place, believe this stuff too. Now they see him being attacked by those same people.

This makes Trayon White much more credible with his base.

Well, any of his constituents who believe Jews can bring on a snowstorm are antisemites too. Let's not accuse all of them of that attitude, but let's not pretend that it doesn't exist, either.

Well it looks like the judges have made their final decision and by unanimous vote the official sweeping generalization is that...

Ward 8 is comprised entirely of either despicable Farrakhan following anti-Semites or just plain old mindless walking dead zombies who are under the captivating spell of Trickster Trayon.

Congratulations to all the African-American's east of the Anacostia you have yet another negative stereotype to add to your already extensive repertoire.

Obviously the truth of the matter is that not ALL of you are anti-Semitic nor are ALL of you ignorant Trayon supporters, however, as you know all too well about how the truth is irrelevant when it comes to broad sweeping generalizations so you'll ALL be officially regarded as such from here on out.

The judges apologize for any inconvenience(s) this may cause but you'll get over it...or who knows maybe you won't get over it, but you live in Ward 8 so who gives a shit, right?



Have a great day everyone!

Are you talking to ME? (PP preceding you.) As you will note, I was clear to say that while it is important that we don't castigate all Ward 8 residents as anti-Semites, neither should we pretend that antisemitism doesn't exist at all.

Extreme Take #1: All Ward 8 city-dwellers are idiots and anti-Semites and shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Extreme Take #2: Just because many Ward 8 residents appear to be supporting CM White, and even Farrakhan, in the face of blatant antisemtitism, let's realize they are all wonderful, lovely, and tolerant people who would never be bigoted against Jews, or any other minority.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Oh please nobody gives a shit about the truth, besides it's too late the judges have spoken on this one already all throughout this thread. The entire citizenry of Ward 8 is officially demonized (as if they weren't already).
