Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) decided to delete a tweet attacking three Jewish Democrats for “buying” the midterm elections two days after liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros, one of his targets, was sent a pipe bomb. The tweet — which also named former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and California businessman and Democratic donor Tom Steyer — was taken down three days before a gunman killed 11 people Saturday in an anti-Semitic attack at The Tree of Life, a Pittsburgh synagogue. Soros has been accused by right-wing conspiracy theorists of orchestrating everything from the migrant caravan heading to the U.S. border with Mexico, to protests against Brett Kavanaugh while he was a Supreme Court nominee. Earlier this month President Donald Trump said at a campaign rally that people criticizing Kavanaugh were “paid for by Soros — or somebody else.” The man arrested in the synagogue shooting, Robert Bowers, blamed Jews for the caravan in a social media post. McCarthy posted a new tweet after the Pittsburgh synagogue attack, stating that the “heinous attacks on Tree of Life synagogue perpetrated by anti-Semitism and hate will not shake our love for each other.” Soros’ son, Alexander Soros, blamed “hate” for the series of pipe bombs sent to Democratic political figures and other Trump targets, including his father. Alexander Soros wrote in a New York Times op ed Wednesday that his father’s philanthropic efforts, which seek to “support those who promote societies where everyone has a voice,” have been a target of vicious attacks, many “dripping with the poison of anti-Semitism.” It became much worse since the Trump campaign, Soros added, which was endorsed by “white supremacist and anti-Semite David Duke,” former grand wizard of the KKK, he added. That’s when extremism began to slip into the mainstream in America, Soros noted. “A genie was let out of the bottle, which may take generations to put back in, ” Soros warned. https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1055170806949523458

Isn't this already normal for them to do though

It's hilarious that all these GOP members they can emulate Trump's persona and somehow not look tremendously stupid like he does.

I think it was put best by Gillium, "the racists know he's racist and that's what matters."

The reason they are doing it is because Trump won an election by doing it (or at least in spite of doing it.) People can win elections doing it.

I really hope if Bernie Sanders runs in 2020, he doesn't become the new Robert Kennedy with all the antisemitism around these days, from the highest echelons of the Republican party and their propaganda.

It's part of Trump's usual personality, the status quo. With others, they just look like absolute idiots.

I want a bernie candidate but someone much younger, part of the problem with hillary and trump is they're both so damn old

No. Embracing the Jewluminati conspiracies has never really been the GOP's modus operandi until now. The problem is that the far-right is setting the discourse for the entire party, because they are their most loyal supporters by far, and wedre the key to Trump securing the nomination. You never saw shit like this being embraced during the Bush Years, or even the Obama years. Trump has changed the game, and now Republicans, Fox News, and the rest are convinced they have to get down and wallow in the shit the far-right loves in order to secure their votes during the mid-terms.

These dogwhistles are only getting worse and its disgusting

If republicans hold onto the house it is likely this guy will take Paul Ryan's spot.

I hope Iowa's Steve King doesn't become majority leader, he's a full on white supremacist King gained prominence as one of 11 in Congress to vote against the $52 billion Hurricane Katrina aid package, claiming fiscal responsibility and a need for a comprehensive plan for spending aid money. In 2006, King called for an electrified fence on the US border, noting that such fences were successful in containing livestock. In 2012, King compared immigrants to dogs. He has described undocumented immigrants as "drug mules" with "calves the size of cantaloupes", which he says is a result from them hauling drugs across the Southern border. King has dismissed concern over global warming, calling it a "religion" and claiming efforts to address climate change are useless. In 2017, King said he wanted "an America so homogeneous that we look the same." King displayed the Confederate flag on his office desk, despite the fact that Iowa was part of the Union during the American Civil War. He removed it after a Confederate flag-waver shot two Iowa police officers. In May 2014, King compared the torture and prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison to "hazing" King said on the floor of the House on June 14, 2010, that racial profiling was an important component of law enforcement King said on a radio show on June 14, 2010, that Obama's policies favored black people.

Steve Bullock 2020, lowkey progressive as fuck democrat who appears moderate and relatable to working class. One of the highest approval ratings among governors in the states, especially democrat governors. Will be late 54 in 2020. Problem is he doesn't have the clout people like Cory Brooker or Elizibeth Warren have, but he's gunning for a run and has made visits to Iowa and New Hampshire, as well as set up a PAC to travel to those states.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/ron-desantis-spread-george-soros-fear-days-after-a-bomb-was-sent-to-soros Speaking at Inman Park Baptist Church in Winter Haven this past Friday, DeSantis was in the midst of arguing that a victory by his opponent, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, would fundamentally destroy Florida’s economy, when he noted the ability of a governor to appoint swaths of people to statewide agencies and boards. “He could be seeding, into our state government, you know, Soros-backed activists,” DeSantis said of his opponent.

I gotta wonder how Soros candidly feels about all this. The man's a holocaust survivor who spent his youth on the run and in hiding from the Nazis. He was finally supposed to be safe, but now they're after him again.
