While defending radical Muslim Congresswoman, Gerry Connolly claims (w/o evidence) there is more anti-Semitism at Trump rallies
His exact quote-
REP. GERRY CONNOLLY: I am. I am concerned that anyone with a history of anti-Semitism frankly needs to confront their own words and understand their impact, and obviously, we need to understand the mindset behind it. But I stand by what I said. She is young, she is new, and she is now a member of Congress. She was a young citizen before that. That doesn’t excuse those words, but it puts it, somewhat, into a context. I will say this, Poppy, I don’t understand why this is a three-or-four-day story, but given all the other things we’re dealing with.
She’s apologized. She was condemned by Democratic leadership. And she apologized unequivocally. Meanwhile, we have the contrast on the Republican side, of a president, where does one even begin to talk about hateful speech with him? He’s got MAGA rallies that in many cases are overtly anti-Semitic, we have remarks that were anti-Semitic code by the Republican leader here in the House. We have a 17-year history of Steve King and racist remarks, and there was absolute silence on the Republican side of the aisle to reason with. So why the double standard between this young, Muslim woman, and all the other history that’s out there?
