Madison Cawthorn just got caught launching a racist attack website against a journalist & Cory Booker.
10 of his former classmates signed a letter about his predatory behavior towards women.
He's best known for his trip to Hitler's vacation home.
This is what the GOP embraces.
Cawthorn, a GOP candidate in North Carolina, created an attack website accusing a journalist of leaving a job “to work for non-white males, like Cory Booker, who aims to ruin white males running for office.”
BREAKING: The Trump campaign is running Facebook ads portraying Bernie Sanders as the puppet master behind Joe Biden.
There’s a long, dangerous history of Jews being scapegoated as all-powerful puppet masters.
Trump is using this antisemitic lie to spread fear & division.
The "puppet master” characterization has been used to present Jews as shadowy manipulators, secretly orchestrating events on the political or financial main stage.
It is an age-old antisemitic trope — one that has been used in Nazi propaganda & continues to be used to this day.
Conspiracy theories about Jewish “puppet masters” motivated white nationalist shooters in Pittsburgh, Poway, El Paso, & Christchurch.
This deadly impact hasn’t stopped Trump & his GOP enablers from repeating them in order to divide us & hold on to power.
ICE is performing mass hysterectomies on immigrant women. ICE is committing genocide.
It is part of a long history of eugenics and assaults on reproductive freedom in the United States — a system that directly inspired the Nazi regime. (THREAD)
In the 1930s, Hitler and the Nazis were directly inspired by Jim Crow laws in the United States.
They sent researchers to study how the U.S. subjugated Black people and inform how they dehumanized Jews, Roma, and other communities.
In 2018, after the Tree of Life shooting, Linda immediately asked “What can I do?”
She rallied her Muslim & progressive communities to keep Jews safe at vigils across the country — and she personally headed to DC to join Bend the Arc for a vigil in front of the White House.
In 2017, when a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis was vandalized, Linda helped launch a massive crowdfunding campaign to support repairs.
It raised over $100,000 in 24 hours — with ultimately over $160K going to Jewish cemeteries in St. Louis and Colorado.
