RACINE — Rabbi Dena Feingold believes President Donald Trump's rhetoric encourages hate speech and she believes House Speaker Paul Ryan has the power to do something about it.
The spiritual leader of Beth Hillel Temple in Kenosha, Feingold said as much on Monday night on national television during Ryan's "town hall" meeting, when she asked the Republican congressman whether he would support a resolution to censure the president based on his "many sides" remarks regarding the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, two weeks ago. Ryan said he would not support censure of Trump, calling Feingold's idea "counterproductive."
"If we descend this issue into some partisan hack fest, into some bickering against each other, and demean it down to some political food fight, what good does that do to unify this country?" Ryan said.
Many in the crowd applauded Ryan's response, but Feingold, the sister of former Democratic U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, was not impressed....

Rabbi Dena?
Sister of Russ?
We are in Bizarro World and Idiocracy at the same time.
I hope Russ does run again, so we in WI can kick him to the curb again.
Fake news. It’s all they got.
I hate to say this,but as usual Jews do not know who their enemies are. I know from experience being married to a Jewish man for over 48 years that black people in general and all BLM hate Jews. If it was not for Jews,there would never have been a successful civil rights movement,and they have no gratitude,just hate and anger.
President Trump’s comments that are freaking people out, full transcript:
____________________________________________________________
Thank you very much. As you know, this was a small press conference, but a very important one. And it was scheduled to talk about the great things that we’re doing with the secretary on the veterans administration. And we will talk about that very much so in a little while. But I thought I should put out a comment as to what’s going on in Charlottesville. So, again, I want to thank everybody for being here, in particular I want to thank our incredible veterans. And thank you, fellas. Let me shake your hand.
They’re great people. Great people. But we’re closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It’s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama, this has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America. What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society. And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time.
I just got off the phone with the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, and we agree that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now. We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and true affection— really, I say this so strongly, true affection for each other. Our country is doing very well in so many ways. We have record — just absolute record employment. We have unemployment the lowest it’s been in almost 17 years. We have companies pouring into our country, Foxconn and car companies and so many others. They’re coming back to our country. We’re renegotiating trade deals to make them great for our country and great for the American worker.
We have so many incredible things happening in our country, so when I watch Charlottesville, to me it’s very, very sad. I want to salute the great work of the state and local police in Virginia. Incredible people. Law enforcement, incredible people. And also the National Guard. They’ve really been working smart and working hard. They’ve been doing a terrific job. Federal authorities are also providing tremendous support to the governor. He thanked me for that. And we are here to provide whatever other assistance is needed. We are ready, willing and able. Above all else, we must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are all Americans first. We love our country. We love our god.
We love our flag. We’re proud of our country. We’re proud of who we are, so we want to get the situation straightened out in Charlottesville, and we want to study it. And we want to see what we’re doing wrong as a country where things like this can happen. My administration is restoring the sacred bonds of loyalty between this nation and its citizens, but our citizens must also restore the bonds of trust and loyalty between one another. We must love each other, respect each other and cherish our history and our future together. So important. We have to respect each other. Ideally, we have to love each other.

As far as I’m concerned, his words were perfect. Yes, Nazis are evil. Yes, Klan is evil. It doesn’t take away from those almost universally agreed facts to include the violent thugs from BLM and Antifa who were also evil.
> With a brother like that, I expected her to be pro-Trump.
Female religious leaders are always feminists.
In between breathless kisses and mutual heavy petting, the Rabbis debated weather congress should censure Trump.
there. fixed it.
I bet she voted for Hillary and is just frustrated and is trying to get Trump on anything.
Good, that at least in this instance, Ryan acted sensibly.
Idiots.
American Reform Jews. The core of the democrat party. Screw them.
I heard what the President said. Anyone who misrepresents what he said either didn’t hear what he said or is the lowest kind of liar — clergy included.
President Trump was 100% correct in his first statement. The opposition to that statement are engaging in "lesser of two evil" mentality. It's that kind of thinking that got us the global situation and the politicians we have today.
Well said.
sorry peoples but this car went sideways in the curve when I read “... Feingold said as much on Monday night on national television .... when she asked ...”
Russ Feingold’s sister. Remember McCain-Feingold act which got tossed for being illegal? Is it any surprise his sister would hate Trump? & she calls herself a Rabbi, someone should check that.
I have a close acquaintance who is a rabbi. I go to his home for Seder, and I am always very comfortable doing so. Passover is the first great “Screw you, we’re leaving” in recorded political history. Very American.
He’s Conservative. Not Reformed, not Orthodox. He voted for Hillary, he is freaked out by Trump. He will break left on politics long before he will break right.
I can’t explain it. He’s one of these most conservative people I have met, in terms of how he lives his life and runs his family.
“Rabbis”, without qualification, is an incorrect term to use here.
In broad composition, just like many other groups, there are Far Left Jews, Far Right Jews, and all sorts in between.
There was a great piece written a while back about “Trump’s Jews” vs “Clinton’s Jews”. It was a comparison using sobriquets for Americans vs Globalists.
A well done piece, I might add.
Sadly, I can’t recall the original source.
Brain getting mushy these days . . .
Hard-left partisan Democrat Rabbi hates Trump, film at 11.
(P.S. Is she even a Zionist ?)
Telling the truth is now a revolutionary act.
