Rep. Nadler: To be clear, this tweet -by @Jim_Jordan counts both as inane AND anti-Semitic.

We are going to hear a lot from Gym Jordan the bigot.



Ilhan Omar’s critics have little to say about Jim Jordan’s anti-Semitic tweet

The double standard is opaque.

Fresh off his fiery display at the Michael Cohen hearing last week, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is under fire for tweeting an anti-Semitic trope at a fellow member of Congress who is Jewish.

Responding to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who announced Sunday that the House Judiciary Committee would seek documents from some 60 individuals in Trump’s orbit as part of its investigation, Jordan accused Nadler of agreeing with California billionaire Tom Steyer that President Donald Trump should be impeached. But Jordan spelled Steyer’s name with a dollar sign:

.....................................

Both Nadler and Steyer are Jewish, prompting many to quickly call out the tweet as anti-Semitic.

Nadler himself called out the tweet as such on Monday morning:

@RepJerryNadler

(((Rep. Nadler))) Retweeted Rep. Jim Jordan

To be clear, this tweet counts both as inane AND anti-Semitic.
