"House Judiciary Committee hearing on policing erupted Thursday after GOP Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz confronted Al Sharpton over anti-Semitic and anti-white remarks he has allegedly made throughout his career.
"During the hearing, Gaetz used his allotted time to read quotes attributed to Sharpton about Jewish people, whites and some blacks.
“ 'Have you ever referred to members of the Jewish faith as ‘white interlopers’ or ‘diamond merchants?'” Gaetz asked at one point during a tense back-and-forth.
“ 'No sir, I referred to one in Harlem, an individual,” Sharpton acknowledged.
"Sharpton also said he did not recall quotes attributed to him regarding “crackers” and “homos.' ”

'Equal-opportunity attacker': Sharpton bristles at Gaetz confrontation in chaotic House hearing . . . "Nadler, 72, called Gaetz's questioning "obnoxious" but said he could not object to them. "This is an outrage," Democratic Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee cut in, saying Gaetz was impugning Sharpton's character. Gaetz and Sharpton continued yelling at each other before Nadler cut them off, saying the congressman's time had expired.
"Sharpton rose to prominence in the '80s and '90s for his activism, which has been described as "race-baiting." He is especially notorious for his role in the 1991 Crown Heights riots." . . .
“Liberals Clarify Their Racism Is Actually Democratic Racism.” "Racism and anti-Semitism keep surfacing in liberal circles, much as the sexual predators of “me too” fame mostly turn out to be on the left. So what should liberals do? The Babylon Bee encourages them not to back down: “Liberals Clarify Their Racism Is Actually Democratic Racism.” Hey, it worked for socialism. Right?" . . .
. . . "More and more, as Democrats demonize “whiteness,” they are coming out of the closet as racists. (Although, to be fair, their belief that blacks can’t think for themselves politically is racist, as is their willingness to discriminate against Asians.) But hey–when Democrats do it, it’s democratic!"
On Racism; that Babylon Bee article: Liberals Clarify Their Racism Is Actually Democratic Racism
"Liberals seem to have a problem as more Justin Trudeau blackface photos have surfaced. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians in America continue to say anti-semitic things.
"In their defense, liberals have come out to clarify that their racism isn't the destructive kind condemned by most of humanity, but rather, it's a new improved form called "democratic racism."
"It's not racism---it's democratic racism," Justin Trudeau assured supporters as 78 new images surfaced of him in various shades of brown makeup. "It's totally different from regular racism, and to imply that our racism is the same as the bad kind of racism is ignorant."
To separate the new democratic racism from old, boring racism, liberals pointed out that their form is very popular, and that their base is willing to defend their racist actions and comments. "See, they voted for us, and no matter what crazy racist comments we make, they'll vote for us again," said Ilhan Omar. "Where regular racism is condemned by all, democratic racism is voted for by our supporters. So it's, like, democratic."
"Also, white men are bad."
Not related in any way is this BB paroarticle: Hypocrisy: Right-Wingers Who Love It When The Babylon Bee Makes Stuff Up Suddenly Get Mad When The NYT Does It. . . Both The Babylon Bee article and The New York Times article were given the “Labeled Satire” designation by Snopes, proving that The New York Times is no less accurate than The Babylon Bee . . ..

It's about time the left universally denounced his anti-Semitism |
