People on one side being mad because you’re not supporting Nazis enough and other people being mad because you are giving any support at all to Nazis doesn’t mean you’re doing anything right.

It’s not a matter of being “more antisemitic”: it’s a matter of understanding the line of what’s less unacceptable to say in public. You think most of these Republicans are “less antisemitic” than Kanye or they just understand what they “can and can’t say” without censure? https://t.co/KKKxzzrbM8
