Rep Raskin: Every House Jewish Dem to forcefully condemn Tucker Carlson's platforming Darryl Cooper

https://x.com/RepRaskin/status/1833635863776911746
Rep. Jamie Raskin
Every Jewish Democrat in the House joined together to forcefully condemn Tucker Carlson's decision to platform & praise sinister Holocaust revisionist Darryl Cooper. When will GOP leaders like JD Vance repudiate this dangerous antisemite? How low can they go?

Statement from Jewish Members of the House of Representatives Regarding Interview Between Tucker Carlson and Nazi Apologist Darryl Cooper

September 9, 2024
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representatives Seth Magaziner, Jerrold Nadler, Brad Schneider, Jan Schakowsky, Jamie Raskin, Jake Auchincloss, Becca Balint, Suzanne Bonamici, Steve Cohen, Lois Frankel, Daniel Goldman, Josh Gottheimer, Sara Jacobs, Greg Landsman, Mike Levin, Kathy Manning, Jared Moskowitz, Dean Phillips, Adam Schiff, Kim Schrier, Brad Sherman, Elissa Slotkin, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Susan Wild issued the following joint statement in response to an interview between Tucker Carlson and Nazi apologist Darryl Cooper:

“As Jewish Members of Congress, we are appalled that Tucker Carlson hosted and promoted Nazi apologist and Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper on his podcast. Cooper made deeply troubling statements, including that the United States was on the ‘wrong side’ in the Second World War, and falsely claiming that millions of Jews in concentration camps 'ended up dead' only because the Nazis did not have the resources to care for them. Not only did Carlson provide a platform for Cooper’s ignorance and hate to millions of viewers, he also promoted Cooper by calling him ‘the most important popular historian in the United States.’

“This revisionist and morally repugnant retelling of history is an insult to the six million Jews who were methodically murdered at the hands of the Nazi regime and is especially dangerous now as antisemitism is on the rise globally.

“It is also concerning that Elon Musk called the discussion ‘very interesting’ in a post on his platform X, and Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance refused to condemn Carlson for promoting Cooper when given the opportunity to do so. Acceptance of hateful ideologies by people in power puts Jews and other targeted minorities across the world at great risk.

“The normalization of Nazism is unacceptable and dangerous, and must be forcefully condemned. Americans deserve to know that their leaders will rebuke the cancers of antisemitism and Nazism whenever and wherever they appear.”


Vile Tucker Carlson platforming and even more vile Darryl Cooper on X - a scumbaggery vortex!

A quarter of Republicans think Trump should seize power even if he loses

WTF!?


A quarter of Republicans think Trump should seize power even if he loses

As the election approaches, new polling shows the breadth of support for Trump’s authoritarian tendencies.

If the 2024 presidential election were held today, it’s not clear who would win. Vice President Kamala Harris has a slight national advantage, according to The Washington Post’s average of polls, but margins in swing states are uniformly narrow. If the polls are overestimating Harris’s support, Donald Trump will return to the White House. If they are underestimating her support, she’ll be the next president.

Unless, of course, there’s some successful, anti-democratic effort to subvert her victory. An effort that about a quarter of Republicans and 1 in 7 Americans overall think should be undertaken in the event that Trump loses.

That’s the determination of new national polling from PRRI. But before we dig into that, it’s useful to look at a different newly released poll, this one from the Associated Press and its partners at NORC and USAFacts.

In that poll, Americans were asked what information sources they trusted when it came to accurately reporting the results of the presidential election. The source that engendered the most trust (here reflecting the percentage of people saying they had at least a moderate amount of trust) was the certified results produced by government agencies. Local news sources (television and newspapers) were the next most trusted, followed by national news outlets. The candidates and their campaigns were among the least trusted — particularly Trump’s campaign.

Adam Schiff: Donald Trump just called on House Republicans to shut down the government.

Adam Schiff
Donald Trump just called on House Republicans to shut down the government.

To tear down our economy in the service of his political interests.

Par for the course. If Republicans follow along, they bear full responsibility for the devastation it will bring.
