    [fox news contributer Sarah] Carter added: “I condemn Candace Owens, I condemn her disgraceful fall to espousing pure antisemitism

    Exactly! She should stick to espousing thinly-veiled antisemitism like every other republican.

    How else does she expect to hold together the republican coalition of supporters of israel’s genocide and people who still believe in the blood libel?

    Bog standard Nazi shit.

    Cultural Bolshevism was innately tied into anti-semitic global conspiracy theories, the Cultural Marxism folks like Jordan Peterson like railing about hardly needs to be explained as a rebrand, Lee Harvey Oswald was a socialist, therefore “The Jews killed Kennedy.”

    The only interesting thing about the situation is that she’s dumb enough to be a black Nazi. A black Nazi who used to work for a Jewish conservative.

    I remember when she joined the daily wire team. She would show up occasionally on the monthly meetings and when she had a special coming out. But otherwise she was completely ignored. When Ben would name all the keep people at the Daily Wire she was never mentioned. And then one day she was gone because it turned out she was a total anti-semite and Ben was a total semite.

    It was easy to see in real time that she wasn’t being included with all the other boys. I honestly don’t know how she lasted that long in that organization.

    Is there some context I’m missing why this is about Jewish people or antisemitic? To me the JFK comment sounded more like an example of the sort of thing people say about the possibility of being assassinated in general, since she was speaking in a way to quote a hypothetical person rationalizing about security and JFK’s killing is a standard example, though I don’t really understand the point she was making since she seemed to be simultaneously criticizing people suggesting increasing security, and people giving up on worrying about being assassinated. I don’t know if the article was representing that statement honestly, since it quoted it without mention of the context that she was saying “so my security doesn’t matter” as a way of describing a perspective she was criticizing.

    The point about criticism of Israel being a huge taboo for public figures seems to be true at least, even if the idea that there is a big risk of being killed for it isn’t.

      You are apparently missing the ability to connect one thing she says to the other thing she says immediately after she said the first thing. Who do you think “they” are in the context of both JFK and Israel?

        Given what she was saying it didn’t really sound like a “three parens” sort of “they” to me, but I could be wrong.

          It was a dog whistle. A very obvious one in my opinion.

          On top of that, this is hardly the first time.

          Among her more antisemitic claims are the beliefs that Israel was involved in 9/11, that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was founded to protect a Jewish paedophile, that Stalin and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk were secretly Jewish, and that a covert group of Hollywood Jews orchestrated Michael Jackson’s death. She has also propagated anti-Christian conspiracy theories, such as claiming that the US bombed Nagasaki to target Christians, that elite Jews follow a secret religion called Frankism (based on the teachings of Jacob Frank), and that they were responsible for the Russian and French revolutions to “bring down Christian empires.”

            Of all the people to accuse of being a secret Jew, Ataturk is a wild one. And Joseph “remove all the the Jews from our state security service” Stalin for that matter.
