It’s not that Nadler thinks Gym Jordan is an anti-semite. It’s just that all the anti-semites think he’s an anti-semite.

I doubt Jordan is smart enough to know what anti-Semitism is. He probably took that from some RWNJ meme…

So, Jordan is both anti Semitic and he protects those who sexually abuse his wrestling team. A good example of Republican values.

Jerry Nadler Accuses Jim Jordan Of Anti-Semitism Over ‘$teyer’ Tweet

I am no fan of Republicans generally nor of Gym Jordan specifically, but I don’t think this is necessarily anti-Semitism. It’s kind of childish, but I think replacing the S with a dollar sign makes sense given that Steyer is a gazillionaire.

I’d like to give Jordan the “benefit of the stupid”. I can’t. I wonder how long it takes for the obligatory intern or minor staff member to be ritually fired?

How many claims a day does Trump tell the truth? Truth still matters.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, for which Jordan is the ranking member, repeatedly raised questions about Democrats’ motivations for bringing Michael Cohen before the committee to testify last week, and many suggested it was part of a plot by Democrats and Steyer to impeach Trump.

So Gym Jordan is signalling that the Republican Party is no longer the law and order party? Gym doesn’t care about tax cheats because all Republicans are tax cheats?

Like I said yesterday I want Trump and his crime family in jail. Convicting Trump will give him many more *s than Nixon. Trump’s going to be the bestest at being the worstest. Yeah Trump!

It would probably be easier to count the number of times Trump doesn’t lie.

And y’all think the guy’s not getting things done. Just look at that trajectory! Winning!

I don’t know if Nadler is Jewish or not. What I do know is that if he is, and he thinks it’s antisemitic, I’m not going to argue that isn’t.

I get that Jordan’s tweet is inane but would somebody tell me how it is anti-Semitic? I didn’t know mere criticism of positions taken by people who happen to be Jewish was automatically anti-Semitic.

I hope the GOP political supporter Adleson will cutoff looney Jim Jordan from receiving campaign funds for his next re-election.

Anyone remember Tom Lehrer’s song “National Brotherhood Week”? Well, here we are 50 years or so later.

There actually was a National Brotherhood Week but apparently it was discontinued owing to lack of interest.

The dollar sign used instead of an “S” for the first letter of Steyer’s name is an anti-semitic dog whistle (Jews and money, and all). The Deplorables hear it, loud and clear.

Apparently the only opponent this two-time NCAA Division 1 champion has never wrestled with is his conscience.

It’s the use of the $ for the letter ‘S’ in Tom Steyer’s name. Steyer is wealthy and is jewish. One of the long running themes of anti-semitism is suspicions about Jewish wealth and money. It’s in fact one of the bigger drivers of anti-semitism historically in Europe.
