You will be shocked to learn that this is a complete and obvious lie from Aaron. Think Progress people might get bigger platforms, but they never change.
Every single tweet in that thread has obvious lies and distortions in it, but he gets thousands of retweets for those lies. Presidential candidates then amplify the lies. It’s a terrible cycle which Vox enables.
Yep. He does it on an almost daily basis. But he’s very good at pulling newsworthy video clips and sharing them online even if he consistently distorts what is in them. Someone in the media who did the same thing w/o the lies would gain a lot of support.
I wrote about the smear in the last tweet of his thread in this week's AG report. Including how it gets spread and mainstreamed in the press.

What an evil and dishonest lowlife.

I tried to warn people about this scumbag grifter for years. Should have listened.

That janitor, who changed his story repeatedly, was the main prosecution witness despite being found with blood on him. A mob demanded a conviction and then lynched Leo Frank based on it.

A witness came forward years later to confirm that Conley had been carrying the victim’s body and threatened him into silence at the time.

Read the details of The Tennessean investigation in to the case that eventually led to a posthumous pardon of Leo Frank:

Candace Owens is so desperate to smear Jews that she’s covering for an actual pedophile and killed in this case.t.co/62MWqDz5vl
Just to be clear, Conley didn’t even deny disposing of Mary Phagan’s body. He just claimed that Leo Frank made him do it.

But it was obvious he was lying at the time because he said him and Frank took an elevator from the second floor to the basement with the body, but there was proof the elevator hadn’t gone to the basement that day.

Then this witness said he saw just Conley with Phagan’s body on the first floor. Conley threatened him so he stayed quiet.

The police ended up arresting several suspects, but Leo Frank was the easiest to pin it on because he was last seen with Phagan. But the only real evidence against him was the testimony of the likely actual killer. There was a mob that formed outside the courthouse demanding they convict someone. Then they lynched Frank. It one of the clearest cases of a historical wrongful conviction imaginable.

Of course none of that matters to Candace Owens, who is on a crusade just to smear Jews regardless of the facts.

I hope anyone who ever defended her realizes now the monster they created.
This isn’t a one-off mistake. Owens now spends all of her time posting nonsensical historical smears related to Jews.

All of her claims, including this one, are basically sourced from random white nationalists.

Another unrelated example from today:

Let me make it easy for those interested in the truth or who have been denying that these mobs are motivated by anti-Semitism or support for terrorism. Here is a short thread with just some of the direct evidence. I will just focus on the protests at and around Columbia:
As @jonathanchait pointed out, the main 2 groups behind the protests, SJP and WOL, have both openly expressed support for terrorism. Both groups have defended the 10/7 attack where Hamas massacred numerous innocent people:
The main student organizer of the Columbia protests is on video saying he believes “Zionists do not deserve to live” and was on video directing other students to expel 3 Jewish students who simply walked into the area:

Not really a surprise that the pro-Hamas Washington Post would frame open anti-Semitism as criticizing Israel. Image
Here are some of the examples the Washington Post alleged journalist @pranshuverma_ listed as examples of criticizing Israel…

I don’t care if you want to object to what @StopAntisemites does, but framing this as criticism of Israel is just lying. And intentionally doing so.

Is Israel Committing “Genocide” or indiscriminately killing Palestinians in Gaza?

I’m tired of people going through this discussion without any accompanying facts or logic so I’m going to put some thoughts into one thread and people can decide for themselves.
To properly have this discussion, we first need to go through and understand Gaza casualty figures. Where they come from and what they show.

The current Gaza casualty figures are all provided by the Hamas-affiliated Gaza Health Ministry. In previous conflicts with Israel, the Gaza Health Ministry has used a system of collecting data from hospitals, ambulance services, and morgues (we can refer to this as the central collection system) to come up with casualty figures. Their numbers do not usually distinguish civilian vs. militant casualties, but they do typically provide a demographic breakdown. Those who defend using their numbers will point to the fact that the Gaza Health Ministry casualty numbers in previous conflicts, collected via the CCS mentioned above, have often been consistent with estimates from other sources.
However, there have been large errors in the demographic breakdowns and in claims on the portion of combatants killed when provided. Usually, some NGOs are also doing their own counts to confirm, which is not happening in this conflict.
In the current war, the Gaza Health Ministry started collecting casualties the same way via the CCS when the war began. They showed ~9K deaths before Israel launched their ground invasion at the end of October. Then, as the data below shows, the casualty rate dropped significantly in the CCS data after the initial period of fighting in November. What is also clear from the CCS data, as shown below, is the proportion of male casualties (the category most, but not all, Hamas militants would fit into) increased significantly over time.Image

These are Jordanians who were born in Jordan and have lived there their whole lives. Only by the insane UNRWA definition, which applies to no other group of people anywhere in the world, are Jordanian citizens that have only ever lived in Jordan considered refugees.
This is like referring to Jews in Israel, whose grandparents fled Arab countries such as Jordan, as refugees. Only no one does that because it’s obviously absurd. But UNRWA is intentionally setup outside the normal rules for everyone else to perpetuate conflict.
Not one person can reasonably explain why the grandchild of a Palestinian Arab who moved from The current West Bank to Syria in 1952 is a refugee but the grandchild of a Jewish Syrian who was forced to flee to Israel in 1950 is not one. Or why they were not considered refugees when Jordan controlled The West Bank from 1947-1967, but are now.

It's incredible that almost the entire media adopted and regularly used a nickname for this law ("Don't Say Gay") that was used by critics to intentionally mislead regarding the content of the law while the settlement just restates that the law should be followed as written.
I pointed out repeatedly at the time that media outlets were misleading their readers by suggesting the law bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity instead of classroom instruction related to those subjects....

Even now the AP presents this as a new agreement, but it's exactly what the actual text said at the time...
