The Anti-Defamation League?
Accusing American patriots of anti-Semitism???
Things sure are getting unpredictable in this shocking new American political landscape!
RT:
The Anti-Defamation League has accused US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, of “trafficking in anti-Semitism” and called for him to be barred from office.
Trump announced Gaetz’s nomination on Wednesday, declaring that the Florida Republican would end the “partisan weaponization of our justice system.” Gaetz is a hardline conservative and staunch ally of Trump, but his nomination rankled some establishment Republicans and angered the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a Jewish advocacy group that typically supports the Democratic Party.
”Rep. Matt Gaetz has a long history of trafficking in anti-Semitism – from explaining his vote against the bipartisan Anti-Semitism Awareness Act by invoking the centuries-old trope that Jews killed Jesus to defending the Great Replacement Theory and inviting a Holocaust denier as his 2018 State of the Union guest,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt wrote on X on Wednesday.
CEO? More like word salad no?
“He should not be appointed to any high office, much less one overseeing the impartial execution of our nation’s laws.”
Greenblatt did not fully explain the examples of Gaetz’s conduct that he cited.
Well Jon, it’s customary to bring the examples along with you when you play the antisemitism card…
The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which passed the House of Representatives earlier this year but never became law, would have criminalized “contemporary examples of anti-Semitism,” including “claims of Jews killing Jesus.” As these claims are repeatedly made in the New Testament of the Bible, Gaetz argued that the bill would have essentially outlawed much of Christianity’s core text.
Gaetz was very hardcore against this insane bill, for which I gave him props at the time.
But he still does all of the requisite public shilling to Israel and whatnot. As always, what these politicians say has to be weighed alongside what they actually do.
Another pretty awesome thing Matt did was force the maniac Ukraine war shill/liar Kevin McCarthy out of his position as Speaker of the House.
So he’s a mixed bag. (But who isn’t in this life, let alone in Washington?)
He has said and actually done some very good things. Especially fighting against the sickening anti-speech law earlier this year.
There is no way for anyone to know at this point how he will do as AG. We can only go up from the unhinged anti-Christian maniac Merrick Garland, the man who threatened to imprison concerned parents who protested tranny indoctrination at school board meetings, hauled pro-lifers out of their homes in pre-dawn raids and called Trump voters the top domestic terror threat.
But that didn’t used to be the standard for was a good political leader. It used to be Christianity, wisdom and patriotism.
If I had to place him on a scale of “How Excited Are You By This Trump Pick?”, he’d fall in the middle between Marco Rubio (guaranteed disappointment) and Bobby Kennedy (extremely promising white pill). Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence also has potential to be great or horrible.
