Renegade Jew

Yesterday, the right wing political site Breitbart.com ran an article about Bill Kristol, a conservative (a pretty kooky one at that) who is trying to organize an anti-Trump third party candidacy. Here’s the title and picture:

RenegadeJew

Not renegade conservative, but renegade Jew (and if one would ever use the odious term ‘self-hating Jew’ it would be to describe former Marxist turned conservative dogmatist and attack dog David Horowitz, who authored the piece).

But let no one say Breitbart doesn’t know it’s audience. This is nothing new, nor is it particular to the rise of Il Trumpe. Over the years, we’ve written a series of posts about movement conservatism’s ‘Jewish problem’:

And if you don’t believe the Mad Biologist, how about former Republican congressman and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (boldface mine):

But the story got a little more fraught when it turned out that Manzullo once said Cantor would not be “saved” because he is Jewish.

Today, Cantor, the only Jewish House Republican, nearly affirmed that this was the reason he fought against Manzullo’s re-election, insinuating that anti-Semitism — and racism — are lingering problems among the House GOP generally. He was speaking at a breakfast event organized by Politico.

Calling it the “darker side,” Cantor responded to Politico’s Mike Allen’s question of whether there is anti-semitism in Congress by trying to avoid commenting. But eventually he let up: “I think that all of us know that in this country, we’ve not always gotten it right in terms of racial matters, religious matters, whatever. We continue to strive to provide equal treatment to everybody.”

“We’re talking about the House Republican Caucus, not America,” Allen pushed.

Cantor then sat in silence, grimmacing for several seconds…

Like I said, par for the course.
