Jewish GOP Senate hopeful defends notorious 'white genocide' conspiracy loon and Pizzagate pushers

Josh Mandel, a Jewish Republican who is set to run against Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) in 2018, is facing criticism for his decision to publicly condemn the Anti-Defamation League and to stand up for notorious conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich.

In a tweet posted on Thursday, Mandel linked to an article written by Cernovich attacking the ADL, and added his own supportive message.

-snip-



Reporter Yair Rosenberg of Tablet Magazine quickly pounced on Mandel’s praise of Cernovich and confronted him with some of Cernovich’s past controversial statements.

“Do you stand with Cernovich’s claim that the Pizzagate conspiracy was real?” he asked the Republican candidate. “Cernovich has also claimed ‘date rape does not exist.’ Do you stand with him on that? Cernovich promoted conspiracy theory that Jewish DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered in a Democratic conspiracy. Do you stand with that?”

Eric Cantor was the last Jewish republican in Congress and he was primaried out by tea bagger named Brat (you cannot make these facts up). There are good reasons why the Jewish vote normally goes to Democrats and this idiot is not going to be getting a siginficant share of the vote.

As a Jew, I really want to see this idiot fail and fail badly

Visual aids are ever so useful. This simply demonstrates one can find a member of any group to defend them, even when the group under attack is a group to which s/he belongs. This is to say, this asshole is someone's "best Jewish friend".
