You don\u2019t have to dig very deep to find Anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. \u00a0Here is the latest \u2014 revolting \u2014 example. Rep. Keith Ellison\u2019s (D., Minn.) is the\u00a0vice chair of the Democratic National Convention, and he apparently\u00a0has a press secretary who is a vile anti-Semite. \u00a0The\u00a0Free Beacon<\/a><\/strong><\/em> reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Keith Ellison\u2019s (D., Minn.) press secretary sparked a Twitter spat Thursday after describing a prominent Jewish reporter as looking like an \u201canti-Semitic caricature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaiah Breen, Ellison\u2019s press secretary, took to Twitter Thursday afternoon to jokingly claim he was fired from his position for publicly mocking two Jewish reporters, Bloomberg View\u2019s Eli Lake and Daily Beast contributor Jamie Kirchick.<\/p>\n

Breen, from his personal Twitter account,\u00a0wrote<\/a>, \u201cTo be clear, keith fired me with prejudice after i said jamie kirchik and eli lake remind me of pinky & the brain. i\u2019m so sorry to both. [sic]\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, Breen\u00a0added, \u201cYou *do* look like an antisemitic caricature.\u201d I wish I could say I was surprised\u2026but knowing Keith Ellison\u2019s history, he has the perfect press secretary to represent him. \u00a0When the Free Beacon reached out to him for comment, he responded in this way:\u00a0\u201cWhat happened is you\u2019re a punk bitch and you\u2019re even uglier than eli lake eyyyyyooo fuck you.\u201d \u00a0Additionally, he said, \u201c\u201dYou look like if hans moleman was a real person and not a simpsons character. i would reach out to mike casca on twitter dm. he\u2019ll probably go on record with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

To clarify, Hans Moleman is an elderly character on The Simpsons<\/em> who has cataracts, is almost completely blind, and shows up in odd moments to cheat death. \u00a0Of course, it doesn\u2019t matter who Hans Moleman is. \u00a0It matters that\u00a0Rep. Ellison\u2019s press secretary knows more about The Simpsons<\/em> than about decency and honor. \u00a0Do you think for one second that this guy hid all of his\u00a0vile thoughts from Rep. Ellison? \u00a0Do you believe that someone who could produce the above \u2014 and publicly! \u2014 was a class act in person? \u00a0This is inexcusable, but it\u2019s also a sad reminder of the way that Democrats tend to work.<\/p>\n
