(Jewish Group) Louisiana GOP State Rep Under Fire for Tweeting Infamous Antisemitic Mural

A Republican state representative in Louisiana was under fire this week for tweeting the same inflammatory antisemitic image that was once infamously defended by the former leader of the British Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.

State Rep. Danny McCormick, of Oil City, was heavily criticized by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Thursday after he shared a photo of an outdoor mural that caused an uproar in London several years ago before it was removed.

The mural, by the left-wing US artist Kalen Ockerman, was titled “Freedom for Humanity,” and showed a group of stereotypical Jewish bankers playing a Monopoly-like board game that rested on the backs of a crowd of naked, kneeling figures.

Corbyn opposed the removal of the mural in 2012, favorably comparing Ockerman with the Mexican artist Diego Rivera. He apologized for these comments when they were uncovered six years later during the antisemitism scandals that rocked Labour under Corbyn’s leadership.

Let's see if people "defend" this POS "artwork" now that the right is using it.

1. That mural is almost exactly the opposite of the truth!

Some of us Non-Jews will stand with you! I lived in a neighborhood with many Jewish families, growing up. I told a couple of Jewish kids, don't worry, I will never forget! And I will not forget! I will never forget!
