Trump and Netanyahu are authoritarian populists. They are a danger to democracy and decency.

But that's no reason to pretend it's OK to partner with organizations that publish the blood libel, or to tweet cartoons by people who ridicule the Holocaust.

The silence is deafening.
@JoeBiden @SenWarren @BetoORourke @KamalaHarris @PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders @MichaelBennet @GovernorBullock @JulianCastro @AndrewYang @SenGillibrand @CoryBooker @amyklobuchar To be clear, I think it was both wrong and stupid of Netanyahu to deny entry to Tlaib and Omar.

But as I like to say these days, bad things remain bad even though bad people do bad things or call bad things bad for bad reasons.
@JoeBiden @SenWarren @BetoORourke @KamalaHarris @PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders @MichaelBennet @GovernorBullock @JulianCastro @AndrewYang @SenGillibrand @CoryBooker @amyklobuchar About the cartoon:

1) Yes, it's reasonable to expect politicians to research whose content they share. We rightly criticize Trump for failing to do this all the time.

2) It's the Star of David that makes this cartoon anti-Semitic. Can you imagine the equivalent with a crescent?
