Why Does The Left Get A Pass On Anti-Semitism?
[The Federalist] This week, an assemblywoman from Brooklyn ‐ the New York City borough with approximately 2.7 million people, not some far-flung hamlet in flyover country ‐ went on an near-hour-long rant in which she accused Jews of conspiring to gentrify her district and steal her home. In the midst of this outburst, Diane Richardson reportedly referred to one of her rivals as the "the Jewish senator from southern Brooklyn."

This incident comes not long after a DC Council member named Trayon White Sr., a Democrat who represents the Eighth Ward of the capital of the free world in the twenty-first century, posted a video offering some of his thoughts on how "the Rothschilds" were controlling the climate to squeeze money out of the oppressed.

Both of these people have been treated as raving lunatics, which they might very well be. But a person could easily imagine the fate of any elected official in a large city had he or she aimed similar conspiracies at African-American neighbors. We would almost assuredly be plunged into a national conversation about the shameful bigotry that plagues our cities.

#3 Rex Mundi is right — they get a pass on Jooo-hatred, and the soft bigotry of low expectations expressed in racism, misogyny, and too many programs for the poor and handicapped.
