Trump adviser links Dems to Jewish center bomb threats

Source: The Hill



BY NIKITA VLADIMIROV - 02/28/17 12:24 PM EST

A senior adviser to President Trump linked the latest wave of threats against Jewish community centers to Democrat in a Tuesday tweet.

Anthony Scaramucci tweeted it is "not yet clear" who is responsible for the threats, noting that some Democrats reportedly incited violence during Trump rallies.

"It's not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don't forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies," he tweeted while linking to an article from right-leaning Breitbart News about a Project Veritas investigation of "trained provocateurs" at Republican events.




In a second tweet, he defended himself after a Bloomberg reporter retweeted his message and added: "A key Trump adviser suggests Dems are behind the JCC threats."

This nonsense that Democrats incite violence at Trump rallies is nonsense.

I also believe that rioters at UC Berkeley were paid anarchists from the Repubs or were non-aligned. Just Milo compatriots looking to shake things up.

C'mon! This is par for the course for this "president". He is as predictable as those who use these events to sputter "but...but...Israel" or use it as their way to attack Jews themselves, usually those Jews on the right, but they never miss an opportunity like this to remind us of all the evil Jews who voted for this man or shame Jews because they don't use their "Jewy power" to control the "president".

It is all so fucking predictable.

Both sides use the Jews for their own purposes. I think it's right wingers - mostly because why would it be a problem NOW if not for the white power slime feeling emboldened? Would it shock me into next week if it weren't - nope.

The idea they would actually do anything which might involve them getting their asses handed to them; well, they avoid it like the plague. Like you, I wouldn't be shocked to find out it was something else. Given what I have seen in regards to anti-Semitism, I can honestly say it is getting very hard to surprise me. It does make me a bit worried we may soon be facing a full blown terrorist attack on a Jewish target. Of course, we will be reminded others were hurt too and isn't that the real tragedy. (see my PM)

Is to blame the opposition what they are guilty of. Here is a sample of that: http://www.wnd.com/2017/02/clinton-official-ties-breitbart-to-riots-against-own-editor/
Accusing the accuser is old tired tacit used by the so-called alt.Right. As soon the public realize this fact then we can discredit their propaganda style.

It is a famous picture of a Polish (?) Jewish woman being shot as she was holding
her child in WW II ..... and a mouth breather who has posted it wrote something like
"good job because they only needed one bullet." (very rough quote)


The only reason I was looking @ the nazi web site was it was the source of a
picture Trump had tweeted out showing Hillary, a star of David, and piles of
money.

I would think a normal person seeing this would see nothing but hell in that photo.

People who can be led to hate that much can never be redeemed, I'm sure.

You have to hope some secret strength comes to people like that woman in situations where there is nothing but pain ahead and grief for those they leave behind.

I appreciate your taking the time and concern to post that photo. How could any human ever forget?

Yes, there's some evidence. Bannon is a white supremacist fringe dweller who also works closely with other white supremacist fringe dwellers.

perpetrated by those bigots, even the ones not reported by the media.

The least we can do is to turn the country--even diehard repukes if it were possible--against Trump by linking him to Bannon's diabolical designs. You can't tell a lot of tRump voters directly that he's an asshole out to take our rights and livelihood away from them, so subtle suggestion, especially if there's plausible reason for it, is the next best thing.
