[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Post is on his ass and councilmembers are no longer coddling him.  He’s done.  The violation of campaign-finance law requiring constituent-service funds to be spent on DC residents is the nail in the coffin.[/quote]

How long have you lived in "Dee-Cee"?  The disbursement from the constituent service fund will result in a slap on the wrist at most.  The more that the Post, Jewish organizations, others are 'on his ass', the more Trayon's base will see him as standing up to the Man.  We've seen this playbook run in Ward 8 before.[/quote]
DP. What are you saying? That if Jews stand up to an antisemite, the voters in Ward 8 dig in their heels? It sounds as if you're saying that there is so much hostility toward Jews from Ward 8 poor blacks (be honest.....that's who lives in Ward 8) that they'll WANT to keep the antisemite in office.

White is not out doing overtly anti-Semitic things. For instance, he is not marching in Charlottesville yelling, "Jews will not replace us". Rather, he made an ignorant statement that he didn't know had anti-Semitic implications and for which he apologized. His supporters don't see "Jews standing up to an anti-Semite", but rather people who have never been involved in helping Ward 8 launching unfair attacks on their Council Member. You may not agree with their perspective, and I don't, but it is still their perspective whether you agree with it or not. [b]Ward 8 residents will not increase their support for White because they are hostile to Jews, but because like most people, they resent attacks by outsiders.[/b]
