(Jewish Group) Ice Cube scolds Jake Tapper for Farrakhan tweet and denies report he ordered entourag

Ice Cube scolds Jake Tapper for Farrakhan tweet and denies report he ordered entourage to beat up a rabbi

Ice Cube is having some issues with journalists, including CNN’s Jake Tapper for calling Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan an anti-Semite, and the rapper called them out on social media.

On Monday, Tapper tweeted that “Farrakhan is a vile anti-LGBTQ anti-Semitic misogynist. Why is a Fox channel airing his propaganda?”

The Jewish anchor’s post was in response to the announcement that Fox Soul TV would be broadcasting a speech by Farrakhan on July 4. The channel has since canceled the broadcast.

In response, Ice Cube tweeted the same day, “Watch your mouth Jake.”

Always a fun time watching people defend bigot Farrakhan, especially those who try to "reverse" the bigotry.

I don't profess to be the expert, but on what grounds do they deny Farrakhan's antisemitism? hlthe2b Jul 2020 #1

A certain march through Fairfax neighborhood of LA got a pass.

Despite the chant of "Kill the Jews" and breaking windows and very hateful graffiti on the synagogues (including Chabad), no one seems to notice. Or if they notice, they don't care.

EVERY generation apparently means about every 90 years.

I so regret not making aliyah and taking my then-new family somewhere safe.
