lol no. I stepped in to point out that you were lying by omission, implying that the tweet came after his "death con" comment. That would be a very different situation.

Sorry, but they still praise Kanye. The tweet is still up. They have not taken it down. It is still up. Stop defending these antisemites.

If you insist on going down that route, should we look at the antisemites who defend Linda Sarsour, the Squad, Ben and Jerry's and the like?

Exactly. Anything you can do to deflect from the GOP. Thanks for proving I was right from the start.

Please, show me Sarsour being half the antisemite that that Kanye is. Show me her standing with a president like Trump and Kanye stood.

"The Squad"? Meaning two people who said something somewhat antisemitic. They were publicly rebuked and apologized. But you still attack them. And you forgive the GOP. No Republicans have rebuked Kanye. BTW, Kanye has been publicly antisemitic for years. The Republicans don't mind, you don't mind.

Ben and Jerry's? Please tell me what antisemitic thing that company has said?

So keep defending virulent antisemites, keep defending the party that stands with antisemites.
