Opinion | Republicans are tolerant of the Jew-hatred of Marjorie Taylor Greene – By Schmuey Boteach (The Jerusalem Post) / Oct 5. 2022
Where are the Republican leaders to denounce MTG’s remarks comparing Biden to Hitler?
Last week, the husband of Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green filed for divorce. Perry Greene called his marriage “irretrievably broken” and said that he and his wife had already been living separate lives, even as they had married in college and raised three children.
Salacious allegations surrounded the breakup, none of which are of interest to me because Taylor Greene’s personal life is her own. Rather, what makes her unfit for office is her repulsive antisemitism that way too many Republicans give her a pass on, including Jewish ones.
I have lambasted the Democratic Party for its failure to take action against the antisemites in its midst. I was disgusted when Democrats in Congress refused to take any punitive measures against Ilhan Omar, instead issuing only a mealy-mouthed condemnation of all forms of bigotry that didn’t mention her. But the Republican Party has its share of antisemites and I am equally appalled at its tolerance of those like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene’s latest in a long series of outrageous slanders was to compare President Joe Biden to Adolf Hitler in response to his speech warning of the threat to democracy posed by “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.” Biden’s speech was way too political and a mistake. To state the obvious, there are plenty of pro-Trump Americans who are deeply patriotic.
