This monster was an anti-Semite for a long time. But it appears that he decided to kill Jews now because of the unhinged conspiracy theory pushed by prominent Republicans on Fox News *right after Trump amplified an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on Twitter.* This is dangerous. https://t.co/HGuOqmaSgx

antisemitism

was a trend

“As the threats increased, as the online abuse grew increasingly vicious, as the defacing of synagogues and community centers with swastikas became more commonplace, the possibility of a violent attack loomed over America’s Jewish communities.” https://t.co/TZssdzy2qo

— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) October 28, 2018

why

Search not for logic and reason in murder of Jews. Whatever the proclaimed reason, it is but an excuse. Jews were persecuted and massacred throughout history for being too rich AND too poor, for being capitalist AND socialist, for being too similar AND too different. #Pittsburg

— Dr. Einat Wilf (@EWilf) October 27, 2018

The explanation is NOT to be found in what Jews are accused of doing but in the the surrounding society. Rising antisemitism is mark of society in deep crisis, crisis of insecurity, crisis of identity. In an uncertain world, there is no greater certainty than “the Jews did it”.

— Dr. Einat Wilf (@EWilf) October 27, 2018

threat (tread)

White nationalism & anti-Semitism is the single most urgent threat to the continuation of our nation as a place that our residents can live in safety. 2/3rds of all domestic terrorism is done by them.

He wasn't mocking Dr. Ford by imitating her and saying, "I don't know. I don't know. Upstairs, downstairs, I don't know. I don't remember."

He clumsily intended to show affection. https://t.co/Q5mQtgjRdy

narrative exposed

This is what the Republican base is rallying behind, huh?

At least it’s somewhat clarifying when Trump goes out there and exposes weeks of Republican talking points and conservative think pieces as complete horseshit. https://t.co/yJcFJnvT08

change threshhold

This is a worthwhile debate and it's certainly a hot topic within the caucus. But the smart take is to take this at face value. This is not a ploy to raise the the threshold back to 60 next Congress then lower it back tp 50 under a Dem POTUS. It just doesn't work like that. https://t.co/KhRW0xBNTh

Hillary on 🍊 racism

Asked whether she thinks Pres. Trump is a racist, Hillary Clinton says, "He has been racist, he's been sexist, he's been Islamophobic, he has been anti-LGBTQ." https://t.co/UA7RyByAb5 pic.twitter.com/LWZRMKquy2

misogyny

Hillary hate is about the threat she and her diverse, multicultural coalition pose to the global status quo, left and right.

Why the press and Republican concern trolls wants her silenced.
