And other RNC speaker removed...

[The Barbarian]

The RNC pulled a speech by 'angel mom' Mary Ann Mendoza from Tuesday night's convention schedule after it was discovered that anti-Semitic tweets were cited approvingly in her social media history.

I feel their pain. How do you find people who are enthusiastic about Trump, without getting people who retweet stories about Jews trying to enslave us?

And now we find she's on the board of "We Build the Wall", a criminal conspiracy to defraud donors.

But Abby Johnson gets to speak, though even though she argues that the man of the family should decide how his wife votes.

Removing her was a good thing. If they are found out to be holding values that don't align with conservatives I don't have an issue with removing them.

Is that inherently problematic?

It is for an American.

That's why a husband doesn't get to go into the booth with his wife. Some countries, it would be O.K., but here, every person is free.

It's pretty much been a conservative thing for a long, long time. Irony is, a lot of those conservatives who hate Jews, love Israel. One of them explained to me, just as they want America to be a white homeland, they have no problem with Jews having their own homeland. They just don't want them living here.

I'm not familiar with this person. I just did a quick Google search and she apparently believes only the head of a household (man) should cast a vote. So your characterization isn't quite correct. Either way, I don't see the problem. Not everyone values raising the number of political voices.

 

[The Barbarian]

It's only a problem if you think every citizen has a right to their own vote.

It's only a problem if you think every citizen has a right to their own vote.

And not everyone does (myself included).

 

[The Barbarian]

In some other nations, your view would be entirely proper.

Is it improper in the US?

The Trump Campaign should be thankful that she made this tweet before she was scheduled to speak - not after!

This is a graphic reminder that this President has an "affinity" for surrounding himself with "loose canons" - to make an anti-semitic tweet concerning a conspiracy theory on the very day that she was scheduled to endorse this President on nationwide television is reckless behavior at best!

What's next, this President's National Security Adviser making phone calls to the Russian Embassy, unaware that all incoming calls are being "tapped by the FBI, then lying about them - but that's just too absurd to even contemplate!

Aren't the Jewish people white? The more trouble I see the more I think God was on to something when he separated the people. We obviously haven't learned to live together yet.

Aren't the Jewish people white?

Apparently not to the white nationalists who support Trump:

Spencer claims to be a "white Zionist" and has voiced his support for a Jewish homeland. Last year, he told Israeli news network Channel 2 that he wants to establish a white homeland "just like you [Jews] want a secure homeland in Israel."

This apparent support for Jews abroad runs contrary to his anti-Semitic behavior in the U.S. At the infamous "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, Spencer led his white nationalist comrades in chants of "Jews will not replace us." When questioned about the songs by Channel 2, Spencer said the marchers were referring to Jews in what he called "the establishment." He defined this as as "Ivy League-educated people who really determine policy," in which Jews are "vastly overrepresented." Spencer believes "white people are being dispossessed from this country" by this group.

When President Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Spencer gave a celebratory speech in which he shouted, "Hail Trump. Hail our people," and then, "Hail victory," an English translation of the Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute. Later at the same event, Spencer described the mainstream media as the "Lügenpresse," a German word meaning "lying press" that was extensively used by Nazi propagandists to dismiss unfavorable coverage.

Antisemitic Linda Sarsour actually spoke at the DNC. Spare me the one sided attack on Republicans.

Anti Zionist, anyway. But your republican speaker touted a message that Jews in America intend to enslave us. Big difference. As you see, most white surpremacists support Zionism for the same reason Nazis encouraged Jews to leave Germany. They wanted them out of the country.

Spare me the false moral equivalence.

The woman claims support for Israel is racist. She's not simply anti-zionist, she's antisemitic.

As for the GOP, there is no question the party as a whole is pro-jew and pro-Israel. Both parties have a handful of weirdos who say insane things. To focus on them while ignoring the overall actions of a party is disingenuous.

Sorry, not buying false moral equivalence. Opposing Zionism is not the same thing as declaring that American Jews are out to enslave the rest of us.

A convicted torturer/rapist spoke at the DNC. And you are worried about a few tweets.
