Republican candidate for Oregon Legislature frequently disparages Jews and Muslims on social media

Joshua Powell, a Republican candidate for an open Eugene-area statehouse seat, frequently makes vitrolic and expletive-filled anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim posts on social media.

“New York Times called the Bundy ranch people trying to spin the narrative ... (expletive) Jews!” Powell wrote on Facebook last October during the trial for the 2014 Bundy standoff in Nevada. “A new (expletive) low by the Jew York Times.”

“Saw more Muslims in Eugene,” Powell wrote a month earlier. “ISIS right under our noses.”

“Washington (state) is crawling with Muslim rats,” he wrote in another post last fall.

“We’ve never had Muslims here in Oregon, ever, until now,” he said. “Jewish liberals are opening up the borders, and innocent bystanders are subjected to this aggressive agenda. And then they wonder why there’s anti-Semitism.”
