D'oh! RNC forced to close online convention chat after anti-Semites turn it into a Jew-bashing hatef

[tenderfoot]

I always thought conservative support of Israel was disingenuous...You can live stream the Republican National Convention on the RNC’s official YouTube page, but you can’t chat about it live anymore.

Why, you ask? Because the Republicans have now disabled the live chat window on the page after it got overrun by anti-Semitic Trump supporters.

As former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle gave a speech promoting inroads that Republicans have made with Jewish voters, as well as ripping the Democrats for allegedly being more hostile to Israel, Trump’s alt-right followers flooded the page with anti-Semitic vitriol.

Among other things, the Trump fans wrote “Press H for Hitler,” “JOOS,” “BAN JEWS,” “OY GEVALT,” and “KIKE.”

1. Don't you just hate it when that happens

But really water is wet and ice is cold.

2. Anti-Semitism comes in all flavors.

This is unsurprising as is the lack of interest.
