Eileen checking her nose for misappropriation...

A Republican political candidate in Virginia is apologizing for mocking the nose of the state’s Jewish House speaker — but he says his comment was not meant to be anti-Semitic.
Eileen Filler-Corn, a Democrat, made history in 2020 when she became the first Jewish and first woman speaker of the oldest legislature in the United States, the Virginia House of Delegates.
Last week, the state’s House Democratic caucus tweeted praise of Filler-Corn for her work on education, attaching a picture of her addressing an online meeting. Hahns Copeland, a Republican who is running for a seat in the House, replied with a biting comment.
“I was surprised to see a pair of eyes and a mouth with that NOSE,” he wrote.
Copeland soon deleted the tweet, but not before Democrats screenshot it, and seized on the opportunity to denounce the candidate seeking to unseat a Democratic incumbent in the state’s 89th district. (The entire House is up for reelection this year.)
“This is wildly antisemitic and has no place in our politics especially a day after Yom Kippur,” said the 89th’s incumbent, Jay Jones, on Twitter. The district, which covers Norfolk on the coast, is heavily Democratic.
Copeland apologized in a tweet late Friday and said he had not intended to allude to offensive stereotypes about Jewish noses.

A few more Jewish Noses: (to my knowledge not from plastic surgery)
Paul Newman
Jennifer Connelly // Natalie Portman // Frank Drescher
Barbie Benton // Tina Louise //Julia Louis Dreyfus // // Dyan Cannon// Jennifer Jason Leigh (father was Vic Morrow Combat—born Victor Morozoff).....
Fran Drescher.... sorry.
(murmur murmur) "It's Cyrano!"
Virginia Governor in blackface is perfectly fine, but let this dude remark about the shnoz on a traitorous piece of filth, and the world comes to an end? Pfffffft.
What an idiot. He should be focusing on her being a New Jersey “carpetbagger” born in NYC. She has been instrumental in turning Va blue and now runs its legislature after first cementing Fairfax County blue.
All the Jewish girls at Radnor High School had the same nose, all appearing shortly after their 16th birthday. It is a thing.
Plus, there’s nothing wrong with her nose. Way to give her a complex, Hahn’s.
Where I come from, Copeland is a Jewish name--as in Aaron. And Hahns is the same name as Hans, nu?
And even what he said, "and that NOSE," sounds like pure Yiddish inflection to me. Dollars to doughnuts, his ancestry is Jewish. (As is half of mine.)
I could not think of a better encapsulation of my comment.
“If she governs like a Jew” -— What does that mean?
Uh oh, BobL, you committed an anti-semitism. You’re in trouble now. For a mea culpa, I recommend you support giving Israel TWO billion dollars for their Iron Dome defense system.
Well, it was a joke so I didn’t intend for it to be literal.
In any case Hahns sounds German and Copeland is mostly a northern English and Scottish name with Norse origins. I was just winging it on that.
I always dress up like an old gypsy to give out candy. A dad asked what store I got the great nose from. My own fault.
So how do Jews govern? Like Disraeli? Like Menachem Begin or David ben Gurion? Like Edward Koch? Like Naftali Bennett or Bibi Netanyahu? What is the Jew way of governing?
Go to stormfront where you belong
No doubt he’s dumb enough to work in government.
