I'm responding to Rhea Greene's criticism of Sen. Schumer
for being silent on freshman Rep. Omar. Mr. Schumer said, "Rep. Omar's use
of an anti-Semitic stereotype was offensive and irresponsible. This kind of
intolerance has no place in Congress-or anywhere in American society. No one
should invoke anti-Semitic tropes during policy disagreements." It sounds
good to me. I wonder if Ms. Greene has been critical of the silence from
Republicans over Rep. Steve King's 13 years of racism. Yes, they finally worked
up to a quiet censure. Democrats punish their own. Ask former Sen. Franken.
Maybe we should be urging Rep. Stefanik to condemn President
Trump over his recent remarks where he channels Benito Mussolini. "I can
tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the
support of Bikers for Trump-I have the tough people, but they don't play it
tough-until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very
bad."
Awhile back, Maggie Alitz wrote glowingly of Tucker Carlson.
I can't quote much of what Mr. Carlson said on Bubba the Love Sponge's (yes,
really) radio show. So, I won't. I assume neither Ms. Greene nor Ms. Alitz have
much problem with the things he said. I guess many on the right don't, since he
has a very highly rated show on Fox News. But, he's not a Democrat. That's sad,
too.
