Trump and Kevin McCarthy have stepped forward as classic anti-Semites, denouncing billionaires George Soros, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg. Soros has been accused of funding the group of Central Americans slowly walking toward our southern border to seek asylum. The right to ask for asylum is settled law. Soros has funded none of this. But he is a rich Jew who supports liberal causes. Trump's base of Klansmen and Nazis and deranged potential killers get the anti-Semitic message. Unstable men will continue to act on it. Soros is a marked man.
No doubt Trump and McCarthy and other Republicans will be quick to say that some of their best friends--and even some children--are Jews. How can a dear friend of Bibi Netanyahu be an anti-Semite?
Two days after a bomb was sent to Soros' house, the National Republican Party ran an ad denouncing Soros. The Republican anti-Semitic campaign continues this morning. It will not stop.
Who your friends or relatives are doesn't define you. If you encourage anti-Semitism, if you pass laws banning Muslims, if you ignore the lethal targeting of Barack Obama, you are a bigot. If you denounce "globalists" we (and Nazis) understand that you mean Jews. This is not complicated.
