NY GOP sends out anti-Semitic campaign flyer showing Jewish Democrat as sinister 'puppet master'

Democrats in Westchester County, New York are furious after the New York Republican State Committee sent out a flyer depicting a Jewish Democrat as a sinister “puppet master” who pulls the strings of local Democratic candidates — two of whom are minorities.

ABC 7 NY reports that the flyer “depicts former Town Supervisor Susan Siegel, a Jewish woman, as a puppeteer controlling three Democratic candidates that include an African-American woman and a man of Indian descent.”

The flyer says that Siegel will be using her alleged control over these candidates to make them transform Yorktown, New York into “a safehaven for illegal immigrants” that will result in massive tax increases for local residents. “How can we trust them to protect us, when all they want is to protect them?” the flyer asks.

The flyer also makes reference to black NFL players’ protests against police brutality by saying Republican candidates will “never take a knee” if elected.

I remember hearing Jews believed the US was the safest place in the world for them.

Altho there's always been anti-semitism in US, after WWII anti-semitism was anathema in public discourse.

Now it's open and everywhere in such a short time. The only thing that changed? Trump's campajign and election gave full support to this hatred.

It took me a few hours, but I finally found a translation....

A Jew holding the strings in your hand.
