Odious and disgusting. Classic anti-Semitic trope straight from the far-right and Viktor Orbán playbook from Jacob Rees-Mogg:
“The remoaner funder in chief was one George Soros."
“The remoaner funder in chief was one George Soros."
Important from @AlfDubs: "Like George Soros, I fled Nazi persecution, & like me, Soros campaigns for European countries to give sanctuary to refugees" Says @BorisJohnson should sack Jacob Rees-Mogg for remarks "straight from far right antisemitic playbook" jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/lord-alf-dubs-… 
@AlfDubs @BorisJohnson @Mendelpol It isn't like Jacob Rees-Mogg hasn't got form with this. He defended his decision to promote a video from Germany's far right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). These anti-Semitic tropes & rhetoric on George Soros should come as no surprise. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
@AlfDubs @BorisJohnson @Mendelpol '@JewishLabour say that Jacob Rees-Mogg's "language from the despatch box plays straight into the far-right’s antisemitic rhetoric of a shadowy Jewish conspiracy meddling in politics." jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/lord-alf-dubs-…
There’s also Jacob Rees-Mogg’s dinner with the Traditional Britain Group, whose vice leader said anti-Semitic & racist things, inc for non whites to be deported. To think this man is the Leader of the House of Commons is unconscionable mirror.co.uk/news/politics/… Ht @Mendelpol
Important point on UK Government meeting with a delegation led by Hungary’s foreign minister today from @MatthewGreen02. Conservative Party sucking up to Viktor Orban. They appeal to share a great deal, not just the anti George Soros rhetoric
Some context on George Soros and the world’s largest anti-Semitic conspiracy theory from @HNSGR buzzfeednews.com/article/hnsgra…
@HNSGR '@AnshelPfeffer is absolutely right
