On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) stated that Republicans are “trying to weaponize antisemitism” by bringing bills that divide Democrats on the subject, like the Antisemitism Awareness Act, up for a vote. And that if we wanted to fight antisemitism “we would bring a bipartisan bill and we would have a whole of government approach that involves educating people about what antisemitism is and what it isn’t and making sure that we are all speaking with one voice.”
Host Alex Wagner asked, “Do you have sort of a thesis as to why the scope was so large?”
Jayapal responded, “Yeah, Alex, I do, and that is that, unfortunately, I think Republicans are trying to weaponize antisemitism. They want to bring bills to the floor that actually divide Democrats, and what we really need to do, if we want to tackle antisemitism, which I believe every Democrat does want to do and many Republicans, then we would do a — we would bring a bipartisan bill and we would have a whole of government approach that involves educating people about what antisemitism is and what it isn’t and making sure that we are all speaking with one voice. I think it’s incredibly hurtful to the cause of eliminating antisemitism for Republicans to weaponize it and to be hypocrites about bringing forward something that is for pure political gain, not about fighting antisemitism. So, that’s why I think they brought this bill, because they knew that it would not get full Democratic support, because it doesn’t get full support from the Jewish community. It doesn’t get full support from people who have looked at this issue and said we have to be very careful about how we define this, and especially, by...”

“Make the other guy live up to his own standards.”
Rules for Radicals.
We’re learning...
Good for the GOP. Jayapal is lower caste so we can ignore her.
Buckle up, buttercup.
Seems like these speak 180 degrees the opposite of the truth.
What, Muslims and Jews aren’t wedded enough to government handouts to put aside their differences and support the same political party? Who knew? :)
Yeah duh, you ugly infection. That is what you politicians do, play politics.
Childish!

A new pesticide-free method to eradicate insect and rodent pests is to post pictures of Jayapal at frequent intervals in one’s garden. Very dark glasses to prevent human viewing are advised. Insects and rodents are found dead the next day.
Translation - They are being exposed as enablers of a bunch of genocidal jihad monkeys
I think that phrase is key. They do not actually want to fight antisemitism. Jayapal is all for hating the Jew.
killer, Jerry, killer !!
Those GOPers are making us look like Jew haters by forcing us to vote on bills that make us look like Jew haters! Unfair!
The anti-Semitism Bill is another step towards thought crimes. Dangerous game .
Weaponize antisemitism? Isn’t that what Jayapal and her Hamas buddies on the Squad are doing?
Translation -— “They’re trying to make us vote against Palestine and Hamas!”
STOP MAKING ME HIT YOU, said Jayapal. LOL
Jayapal seems to be consumed with hatred of the other, whoever she determines the other to be. She must be a very dismal person to be around.
f-ing commie wog. Go back too India
Yes.
Hell has frozen over. It was for the wrong reasons, but the Squad and Thomas Massie were right to vote against this definition of anti-Semitism.
If you keep somebody from going to class that is wrong. If you hit somebody not in self-defense that is wrong. If you refuse a scholarship to a well-qualified person because of their ancestry that is wrong (although it’s done all the time to keep whites from getting scholarships intended for Blacks, for instance) that could be considered discrimination and wrong.
Noting that AIPAC exerts a lot of power is not anti-Semitism. It is a statement of fact. When facts are verboten we’re in big trouble.
