There are still Jewish Republicans. Some of them naively & (in my opinion) selfishly believe they have nothing to fear from the current generation of white supremacists bc Muslims & people of color are the top targets. 1/
They fail to understand that once a society starts “othering” people, no one is safe. 2/
Fortunately, many (I hope most) Jews get it. Tommy Robinson is a an anti-Muslim ally of Steve Bannon in the UK. 3/ independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
Similarly, what this misguided (in my opinion) person fails to understand is that even if Bannon is not antisemitic or racist himself, he has allied w/ and normalized people who are to further his anti-immigrant crusade & to try to break up the EU and destroy liberals. 4/
5/ It doesn’t matter what Bannon thinks in his “heart” when he normalizes dangerous people. buzzfeednews.com/article/lester…
6/ Remember “Jews will not replace us”? washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-f…
7/ Charlottesville occurred 8/12/17. time.com/charlottesvill…
8/ “Nancy Pelosi calls on Trump to fire Steve Bannon after Charlottesville violence” 8/14/17 abcnews.go.com/Politics/pelos…
9/ “Bannon consulted w/ the president repeatedly over the weekend as Mr. Trump struggled to respond to the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Va. In general, Mr. Bannon has cautioned the president not to criticize far-right activists too severely…”8/14/17 nytimes.com/2017/08/14/us/…
10/ “Steve Bannon’s out at the White House, aftermath of white nationalist protests in Charlottesville” 8/18/17 #TheyKnew pbs.org/weta/washingto…
11/ Again, what difference does it make what Bannon or Trump or anyone else feels in their heart when they do this type of thing or have no issue with it? @splcenter
12/ Look how quickly the “Judaeo” part can get tossed aside. Blink of an eye.
13/ Another example: Paul Gosar cozying up to antisemite Nick Fuentes. nytimes.com/2021/07/05/us/…

IMO, it is equally likely that Trump bribed Bannon w/ the prospect of a pardon. “Help me win &, if I lose, help me undermine the election result. In exchange, you get a pardon.” Could even be why Bannon was indicted in the 1st place. Bannon & Trump had been on the outs, right? 1/
Had Trump and Bannon kissed and made up between this and Bannon’s indictment? (I don’t know the answer. If you do, pls let me know.) 2/ cbsnews.com/news/report-st…
This was a serious falling out in 2018. The Mercers cut off Bannon over it, which is why Bannon had to find a new benefactor (Guo Wengui). After Bannon was indicted in August 2020, suddenly he and Trump were tight again. Something changed. 3/ ImageImage

I first heard of the Council for National Policy from @amandablount2. I wrote about it > learning that a few too many dubious election results in the US since 2000 have involved CNP members or CNP award recipients (& other Religious Right members). 1/ extranewsfeed.com/americas-talib…
Quite frankly, it scared the bejeezus out of me. 2/

Rs are now the party of violent religious extremists. They have morphed into a “Christian” version of the Taliban. They want to shutter the Department of Education so they can teach their version of a hateful God in school. Bannon even called 4 beheadings. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Either we listen to experts or we don’t. Democrats and Republicans have decided that we don’t. Neither party introduced a law that wld require rigorous election audits in 2022. Ds congratulate themselves for conceding, Rs congratulate themselves 4 #fraudits, & so shall it be. 🤬
And I’m pissed off. 🤬
