The fact that both the GOP's communications people and the Democratic congressman they're opposing are using the phrase "the Jewish question" is very fucking bad
when Nazis talk about moving the Overton window, they are talking about introducing phrases like this into the public discussion
Here's Fox News obscuring what "the Jewish question" means. This is not just "debate that unfolded in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries regarding the status of Jewish people as a minority" foxnews.com/politics/2018/…
When Nazis talk about "the Jewish question" today, they literally mean "how do we exterminate all of them? How do we forcibly remove them?" Davis using it, and the GOP sending out an email with it as a winky teaser phrase, is staggering
Also, sorry, last thing: Farrakhan is unquestionably a homophobic anti-Semite. But he also has no credibility or significant following in mainstream black America, as far as I understand. Nor does the NOI as a whole.
Oh good: now @eric_strikerDS is quote-tweeting me, an open white supremacist and staff writer for the neo Nazi Daily Stormer, who still somehow has an active Twitter account, so that's cool
The GOP comms person is emailing me after deleting a snarky tweet at me, which probably means he wants me to include the text of the email. They're mad not enough people are covering Davis' remarks, but talked about a Nazi running for Congress in Illinois as a Republican.
This was not an appropriate place for a cutesy curiosity gap email line, guys. And yes, I am also criticizing Davis. Fucking no duh.
