DEMOCRATS PARTYING LIKE IT’S 1939: Is This the Most Antisemitic Ad to Ever Air for a Senate Race?
We’ve heard them say it before: we’re not antisemitic; we’re just critical of Israel. We don’t hate Jews; we’re just opposed to the Benjamin Netanyahu government. Yeah, the problem is that, factually, that was untrue, and only morons or the obtuse believed it. You can be critical of the Netanyahu government, but when blood money and ‘dirty Jew’ overtures ooze from the talking points, we know what’s going on. Some of us remember high school history and the propaganda a certain national socialist party in Germany distributed in the 1930s.

The ghosts of Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter, and FDR smile.

If Abdul El-Sayed wins his U.S. Senate race in Michigan on November 3, I hope he has the good manners to send a thank-you gift to a woman who has selflessly prioritized his fortunes over her own in order to get him over the finish line: MSNBC’s Kristen Welker.
Yesterday on Meet the Press, Welker interviewed El-Sayed’s opponent Mike Rogers. In so doing, she invented a new political product: the live attack ad.
The bias that was on display wasn’t particularly striking, not anymore. We’ve already seen the lengths to which liberal media will go to protect their favorite Democrats and defame Republican villains. Whatever you call an industry that promoted Joe Biden’s razor-sharp mind, you can’t call it objective.
What was astounding here is Welker’s equal combo of unbridled chutzpah and low self-esteem.
We’ve long said, “Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines, and it all makes sense,” but Welker certainly makes her thumb on the scale glaringly obvious:
