Face it - Jew-hatred is no longer a minus for politicians, as MJT says "they" force Congress to vote against antisemitism

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a poster child for how today's politicians no longer care about antisemitism, not even for lip service.

When she was considered a card-carrying MAGA member she gave her theory on Rothschild space beams causing California wildfires to clear way for a high speed rail project. 

To their credit, the House GOP  at the time voted to remove her from committees for her crazy conspiracy theories. Many, however, defended her. And now antisemitism is no longer considered a negative for politicians on the Right.

But the interesting thing is that now that she has emerged as a critic of Donald Trump, the Left is suddenly enamored of her. She was praised on The View, by Jimmy Kimmel, The Guardian and even some Democratic members of Congress.

But has she stopped her antisemitism? No, she's doubling down. In a  60 Minutes interview Sunday night, she told Lesley Stahl that voting against antisemitism was “an exercise” that “they force on Congress.”

Hmmm, who could "they" be?

The interview then went even more off the rails. When Stahl asked her whether she didn;'t feel that there was value in standing up in the "face of a growing problem, ” Greene replied, "“We don’t have to get on our knees and say it over and over again—” 

“Get on our knees?” Stahl asked, surprised.

“Yes, we do not have to get on our knees,” Greene reiterated.

Then when Stahl said most members of Congress disagree with her, she associated the antisemitism bill with AIPAC: “Well, most members of Congress take donations from AIPAC, and I don’t,” Greene said.

So MJT proves yet again that anti-Zionism and antisemitism are two sides of the same coin. 

But now that she is being celebrated for calling Gaza a "genocide," will any Democrats condemn her for her naked antisemitism on national TV?

We'll see. But if her previous antisemitic statements didn't give the progressives pause in embracing her positions on Israel, there is no reason to think that they will consider this interview problematic at all.

Today, partisanship wins over principle just about every time. An antisemitic politician can count on support from their own party. 

And in such an environment, Jews are the ones who get victimized first.
