While instructing American Jews to be insulted by comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), former Maine Gov. Paul LePage said something pretty offensive about American Jews himself.
“The Jewish people in America have been great supporters of the Democratic Party,” LePage told WGAN Monday, in an interview flagged by The Associated Press.
“In fact, that’s where their money comes from for the most part. They should be absolutely insulted for what she’s been saying.”
He added, referring to Jewish Democrats: “I think what they might do, the fundraising might get hurt a little bit, but I don’t think they’re going to desert the Democratic Party.”
Omar has made a handful of comments considered by some to be anti-Semitic, including one tweet asserting that American politicians’ support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins baby.” She later apologized and said the tweet was a reference to the influence of the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC.
Wrong, you old blowhard.
LePage should be committed to LeHospital.
Anti-Semitism is second nature to these people to the point where they don’t even recognize it as such. I’d expect Trump himself to denounce American Jews as being “perfidious” for voting Democratic except that he obviously doesn’t know the word let alone its historical connotations.
Lay off the coffee brandy…
So I guess that suggestion goes hand-in-hand with Trumplethinskin Toadglans belief that Democrats hate Jews.
I’d call LePage an idiot, but I don’t want to insult idiots. How a man can have a black hole for a mind and yet have no mass for a brain…it’s a whole new branch of Fizzix.
