Curt Schilling Baffled By Jewish People, Asks Jake Tapper To Explain [View all]

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!

Curt Schilling, a man who is totally fine with grown men checking out 10-year-old girls, doesn’t understand how people of the Jewish faith can vote for Democrats.

Specifically, how could they possibly be anything more than one-issue voters focused singularly on Israel?

So the former Red Sox pitcher and likely future Republican Senate candidate asked CNN’s Jake Tapper to explain them to him this afternoon. Because ― hey, Tapper is Jewish, right?

”As a person who’s practicing the Jewish faith and has since you were young,” Schilling opened, “I don’t understand how people of Jewish faith can back the Democratic Party, which over the last 50 years has been so clearly anti-Israel.”

Interesting it is that type of thinking, we are single issue voters, Israel being the "single issue", is often asked of us (or accused against us).
