"On Tuesday, Deseret News reported that Dave Bateman, the cofounder of tech company Entrata and a major financial backer of the Republican Party, mass-emailed several tech executives and elected officials claiming that COVID-19 vaccines are a Jewish plot to depopulate the world."

I think any politicians who accepted donations from this guy need to be exposed.

[sakabatou]

1. Even if they are exposed, how many will actually apologize?

[70sEraVet]

3. I don't care about apologies ("Gee, sorry if somebody's feelings got hurt")

I want them to publicly return their donations!

[DBoon]

6. I would prefer that they be removed from any elected office they hold

[aeromanKC]

2. OK. Busted. You got us.

Just what every you do, just continue to refuse the vaccine. Because, well you know.

[Canoe52]

4. Who knew the Jewish were so powerful! Oy vey!

[70sEraVet]

5. He's got a few things to say about the Pope too, naturally.

"“For 300 years the Jews have been trying to infiltrate the Catholic Church and place a Jew covertly at the top,” Bateman continued. “It happened in 2013 with Pope Francis. I believe the pandemic and systematic extermination of billions of people will lead to an effort to consolidate all the countries in the world under a single flag with totalitarian rule. I know, it sounds bonkers. No one is reporting on it, but the Hasidic Jews in the US instituted a law for their people that they are not to be vaccinated for any reason.”

I wouldn't buy shares in Entrata right now.

[thenelm1]

19. I wonder if anyone has ever clued him into the fact the Jesus was a Jew?

He's effectively been at the top the whole time!!!

[keithbvadu2]

28. "but the Hasidic Jews in the US instituted a law for their people that they are not to be vaccinated

"...but the Hasidic Jews in the US instituted a law for their people that they are not to be vaccinated for any reason."

That sounds like something they instituted long before COVID19 came along.

[XacerbatedDem]

34. Really?

"an effort to consolidate all the countries in the world under a single flag with totalitarian rule." Don't know about that last part (totalitarian rule), but isn't that like the Federation in every episode of Star Trek? Actually, I kinda like that idea; one world, one planet, everyone equal. After all, aren't we all, every single person on this planet, no matter what race, creed or color, "Earthlings"?

8. He's now forced out at Entrata

Entrata condemns founder's email blaming 'the Jews' for COVID vaccine extermination plot

"The founder of Lehi-based Entrata is being widely condemned for an anti-vaccine email he sent alleging a “sadistic effort underway to euthanize the American people” and blaming it on “the Jews.”

In the aftermath of those comments, Dave Bateman is no longer on the board of the company he founded, Entrata CEO Adam Edmunds announced via Twitter late Tuesday afternoon.

"Entrata’s board of directors today asked Dave Bateman to resign from the company’s board of directors, including his position as chairman," Edmunds wrote. "Dave agreed and is no longer a member of the Entrata board, effective immediately."

In the email, a copy of which was obtained by KUTV 2News, Bateman made a number of unfounded claims about the COVID-19 vaccine and alleged there was an effort to censor the truth."

[70sEraVet]

13. I'm glad our tribe got him kicked out.

I guess the prayers of our Pope did it!

[andym]

17. Great sarcasm. NT.

[ZonkerHarris]

20. fucked around, found out

[tanyev]

9. Any second now all Republicans who ever took money from him will return it

and forcefully denounce…..oh, sorry. Even I can’t finish that with a straight face.

[erronis]

25. Which part? I'm guessing they'll keep the money and make some piddly statement.

[rpannier]

10. The people to gp after are Jazz Owner Ryan Smith and Todd Pederson (Vivint)

They bailed out Entrata by helping to raise over 500 million dollars
Cut them off, and you cut off the company's biggest cash cow
As to Blake McClary, "Your outraged post on twitter means jack if you won't cut off support."
To Elizabeth Converse, "It's not disturbing, it's anti-Semitic."
and to Dave Bateman, who has fallen back on the trope of bigots, "Some of my closest friends are Jews."

[erronis]

27. Fixing Dave Bateman "Some of my closest friends are Jews" - should be "closet friends".

They can't admit within their circle that they might actually know and enjoy any of the "others".

So much like the cliques that formed in grade/middle school. And that continued through college and business and families.

[paleotn]

11. Totally bonkers...

So much for "titans" of tech industry being smarter than the average joe. This guy's out of his fucking mind.

[TeamProg]

12. He has retired as CEO of Entrata, a property management software company, but had remained chair of

the company’s board. Bateman had also been a prominent figure in Utah Republican politics, financially bailing out the party a few years ago when its legal debt mounted during a court fight over paths for candidates to get on the ballot.

14. donations

I'll bet this is the kind of donor who never gives to support Youth in Asia.

[C Moon]

15. He saw it on FaceBook--it HAS to be true.

[IronLionZion]

24. Putting text on an image makes it real somehow

[C Moon]

26. Right?

[riversedge]

16. geez. each day gets crazier than the next with these Repugs!!

[Behind the Aegis]

18. C'mon, it's just anti-Semitism. I mean, really, where could that lead?

[speak easy]

31. "the most monumental of medieval Jewish persecutions"

Yes, I know you were being highly sarcastic, but history is saturated with examples of the Jews being blamed for everything. The more things change ...

The Black Death and the Burning of Jews

Over the past forty years, studies of the period from the First Crusade at the end of the eleventh century to the rise of the mendicant orders in the early thirteenth century have dominated research into anti-Semitism in the Middle Ages.1 Curiously, far less attention has been devoted to the most monumental of medieval Jewish persecutions, one that eradicated almost entirely the principal Jewish communities of Europe — those of the Rhineland — along with many other areas. Coupled with mass migration that ensued, they caused a fundamental redistribution of Jewry.2 These persecutions were the burning of Jews between 1348 and 1351, when in anticipation of, or shortly after, outbreaks of plague Jews were accused of poisoning food, wells and streams, tortured into confessions, rounded up in city squares or their synagogues, and exterminated en masse.

21. I've been eating toast every morning and haven't gotten COVID yet.

Also have the vax and booster but I am sure it is the toast.

[IronLionZion]

23. Be careful what you put on that toast

if it's avocado, it may ruin your life.

[IronLionZion]

22. Space lasers start wildfires and vaccines depopulate the world

Does he want to join the millions around the world who were depopulated from not having the vaccine?

I like telling these people that COVID is the rapture and they were left behind.

[Dawson Leery]

29. MTG is the norm for the GOP.

A GOP congress will be run by these literal Nazis.

[monkeyman1]

32. " BERLIN BETTY " !!

[dalton99a]

30. "I have nothing but love for the Jewish people. Some of my closest friends are Jews."

In text messages, Bateman confirmed to FOX 13 he wrote the email.

"Yes. I sent it. I have nothing but love for the Jewish people. Some of my closest friends are Jews. My heart breaks for their 2500 years they’ve been mistreated by nearly every country on earth. But I do believe Scottish Rite Freemasons are behind the pandemic (overwhelmingly Jewish)," he wrote. "And I fear billions of people around the globe right now are being exterminated."

[monkeyman1]

33. do anybody knows what place this guy escaped from ?

[SKKY]

35. Not more of this Jewish Space Laser bullshit again....

....It's almost like they're trying to start a religious war in the US.

[sellitman]

36. If you don't take that 4th shot

We will space laser you!

[The Jungle 1]

37. Why don't they just use their space lasers?

This stuff makes me wonder how many other business leaders are also this fing nuts.
Every once in a while one of these nuts slips up and speaks their mind. How many are there?

[marie999]

38. The problem is that many people will believe him. Jews are worlds scapegoat.

When a government has a problem they blame the Jews. America won't be any different under a fascist government.

[whathehell]

39. I'm embarrassed to share a country with these people.

Medieval mindset

[70sEraVet]

43. Yes. I thought the GOP wanted to take us back to the 1950's

But apparently they're determined to go for the 1550's!

[whathehell]

44. Yes..

Using a new variation on the old "blood libel" trope would indicate as much.

[iemanja]

40. Will the GOP denounce this?

as they did Ilhan Omar? I won't hold my breath.

[LeftishBrit]

41. WOW! How disgusting!!!!

Is he a friend of Marjorie 'Jewish Space Laser' Taylor Greene?

[Akoto]

42. Just daring to go down the rabbit hole here: why does he think the Jews want to depopulate Earth? nt
