    Since nobody else posted the context, regarding Doug Emhoff:

    '“He’s a crappy Jew,” said host Sid Rosenberg. “He’s a horrible Jew.”

    And Trump agreed.’

    I think this may lose him a few supporters, but still, it’s Trump.

      The appropriate response to that would be to stand up and leave. An acceptable response would be to correct this awful comment directly, akin to how McCain corrected that lady in the town hall thing about Obama.

      This weirdo just rolled with it.

        It’s hard to believe where we are now. It seems like not to long ago, we had Obama vs McCain, who were both respectable candidates. It wasn’t until McCain chose Palin as his running mate that shit got weird. And the danger was amplified by McCain being old.

        I want to go back to politics where “both sides” were just corporate shills and everyone knew life was going to be OK, but corps were going to slowly fuck us.

        Now it seems like life and death.

      Do we know the actual full context?

      I get so mad when I believe this stuff only to find out later that the context was more like: “he’s a terrible Jew” (as in, it’s fine that he’s Jewish, he’s just a bad Jew in comparison to other Jews.) it’s important because it’s not hating the fact that he’s Jewish, they’re saying he’s lesser than “good” Jewish people just like how we say Republicans are terrible Christians. We aren’t disparaging Christians (sure, some are) we’re saying that compared to what a Christian should be like, they are horrible.

      I hate that I even have to attempt to defend this, but our media is fucking horrible left, right, center. All corpo media is worthless cash grab click bait garbage so my first instinct is to assume they’re lying by omission for clicks and outrage…
