(Jewish Group) Indiana AG Tries to Clean Up Supporting Kanye West's Anti-Semitism

Indiana AG Tries to Clean Up Supporting Kanye West’s Anti-Semitism — By Blasting ‘Media and Hollywood Elites’

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) has responded to the backlash over his stunning defense of Kanye West’s anti-Semitic social media posts with some awkward clean-up.

In a post Sunday afternoon, Rokita saluted the rapper’s “independent thinking” — this one day after West declared he was “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” in a post now-deleted by Twitter.

Rokita walked by his support of West by going after “the media and Hollywood elites.”

“My post was specifically and clearly aimed at the hypocrisy of the media and Hollywood elites, not anything to do with other comments,” Rokita wrote. “I have an obvious, clear and substantial Congressional and public record of being 100% supportive of the Jewish community and Israel.”

Always entertaining to watch people defend anti-Semitism from their own side. Anyone remotely familiar with anti-Semitism knows anti-Semites only exist on the .... they never exist on the .... !

For Jewish people, always have been by conservatives.

Any conservative who makes statements like that asshole did and then claims they “support Israel” is either a straight out liar or they are religious whack jobs who long for the apocalypse where Jews will die if the don’t become Christian.

So of course the RW extremists would defend hateful extremism by claiming it's "fair and accurate" and "entitled to his opinion".

RWers love Israel because reasons. They don't love American Jews quite as much since most are liberal.
