In reply to the discussion: MI-SEN: Mallory McMorrow (D) sounds alarm on her party's antisemitism after Jewish husband targeted [View all]harumph
(3,443 posts)Re: your statement, "...generally reporting doesn't include the specific slur..." I don't know about that. In any case, it should, because news outlets
shouldn't be afraid of reporting slurs as it gives them more power and mystery than they should have. I ask again, outside of McMorrow and hubby where is independent confirmation? If there is independent confirmation, then I'll say "OK then." If there is none, I'll ask "Why not?" Already right wing media outlets are jumping on this story.
From another source she is quoted: I was not there, she said. It was just my husband and my daughter, and someone screamed an antisemitic slur in his face in front of our five-year-old.

By her own admission she didn't hear it or witness it. I do know some people in our party are shitting themselves over El-Sayed's candidacy.
She says someone "screamed." Not normal speech - screaming. Did no one else present hear this?
Given the foregoing, is a plant at least possible or even likely?
I would argue yes.
I'm not alleging that McMorrow or hubby orchestrated this - but frankly, this doesn't smell right.
