Did I cite Mitch McConnell? No, I did not. I tried to be clear that I am not accusing Joe Kent of anti-Semitism because he is criticizing Israel, and Mitch engaging in that kind of rhetoric is only serving to make it harder for me to make my point. I am accusing Kent of anti-Semitism because he has a history of engaging in anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and consorting with neo-Nazis. My point is simple: we should not respect Joe Kent. His resignation is correct; his reasoning is flawed.

"The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Joe Kent to a top counterterrorism role, overcoming opposition from Democrats who described the retired Army Green Beret as a conspiracy theorist who has associated with White nationalists and other far-right extremists. "

Obviously a hero to the some on the far left today.
>Did I cite Mitch McConnell? No, I did not
You didnt cite anything so i googled to see whom or what you might be talking about and thats all that popped up.
It turns your vague accusation only matched the equally vague accusations of a rather nasty white supremacist zionist.
I think that says that Joe Kent is being slandered mainly by some rather extreme genocide denying racists.
