Will Those Who Accused Trump of Abetting Anti-Semitism Over JCC Threats Offer A Mea Culpa?

Over the past few months, Americans from across the country have been terrorized by bomb threats against Jewish Community Centers and other religious institutions.

For parents, it matters little who is behind the threats. Still, assumptions about these events quickly trumped vigilance for political reasons. And that’s a problem......

So, many on the Left blamed Trump’s rhetoric for feeding anti-Semitism. The Democratic National Committee accused the president of showing “a clear pattern” of anti-Semitism. Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League and self-appointed spokesperson for all American Jews, demanded the president explain himself.

Of course not. The far left cares nothing for reality. Narrative trumps reality every time. It is why they will not let go of the man-made global warming theory. They decide what the results are and no matter how illogical everything supports the result.

Michael Medved ridiculed anyone who suggested it was anyone other than an anti-Semite. He never apologized.
