WHITE HOUSE (Yaakov M / VINnews) — This past week, Ami Magazine’s Jake Turx called out a lie that President Biden has repeatedly told about President Trump, falsely claiming that Trump supports Neo-Nazis.

At a White House “unity” event (which was heavily divisive), Turx questioned ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt about Biden’s nasty comments, and Greenblatt did not defend them. Turx also pointed out the hypocrisy of using divisive rhetoric at a unity event.
The question centers around the false claim which Democrats love to recycle, alleging Trump referred to neo-Nazis at a 2017 riot in Charlottesville, Virginia as “very fine people.” In reality, Trump said they should be “condemned totally,” and distinguished them from peaceful protesters whom Trump called “very fine “people on both sides of the issue of whether to remove a Confederate statue.
The hoax has been repeatedly debunked, yet Biden continues to use it.
Leftist Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, did not defend Biden when asked about the comments after a White House “unity summit” on Thursday. However rather than admitting Biden was lying, Greenblatt dodged the issue and made other false claims about Trump, attempting to justify Biden’s vicious attack.
Turx asked whether it was “good faith” for the president to attempt to unify the country while using a divisive hoax that had been widely debunked, and Greenblatt replied:
“If President Trump had been able to say, clearly and consistently — not just in the minutes after Charlottesville, but in the days in the weeks, in the month, in the years, to call out David Duke when given the chance, to not say “stand back and stand by” to the Proud Boys when given a chance to condemn them, to not tweet out antisemitic memes whether they are directed at Hillary Clinton or the press or anyone else, to call out the “Great Replacement Theory” — I could go on and on and on and on and on, but the reason why we’re here is because the failure to communicate that gave permission, gave license to hate, and make no mistake — whether it’s white supremacists, armed militia groups, enraged sovereign citizens, radical anti-Zionists, enraged jihadists — it’s become open season on everyone in this environment.”
Greenblatt was essentially justifying Biden’s lies, based on other things that Trump has done, which were also false.
Trump repeatedly condemned white supremacist David Duke, although it was not reported by the mainstream media. Trump also condemned the “Proud Boys” at a debate, and borrowed the term “stand by” from moderator Chris Wallace, while it was quite clear from the context that Trump was not supporting them in any way.
The very rare “antisemitic memes” tweeted by Trump were extremely subtle and appeared to be unintentional, such as a retweet of Hillary Clinton against a background of cash with a six-pointed star, which the campaign said was a mistake.
And “Great Replacement Theory” is a white-supremacist spin of an actual Democrat strategy of leveraging an open-borders policy to produce millions of new Democratic voters.
Greenblatt is a vicious little hack who has spent his entire tenure lying about Republicans and covering for the democratic party Jew haters and terrorist supporters. He doesnt defend Jews he defends democrats no matter what Jew hatred they spew.
Leftist Jews like Greenblatt are worse then anti Semites
All accusations , nasty books and media reports since the election of Trump in 2016 are lies. Now they’re lying about all of his 75 million voters. They are deranged , evil poisonous rats.
You can reason with leftists like greenblatt. In addition to have the liberal mental disorder, most of these people suffer from the 6 year+ pandemic…known as TDS
It may need to be repeated, to remind anti-Trump Jews in name only, that President Trump was BY FAR the best for Jews president in our country’s history.
Notice that Greenblatt did not deny Biden’s divisive and derisive comments, not did he attempt to ‘interpret’ them as non-divisive. He simply engaged in a bout of ‘whataboutism’, in which you deflect attention from the object of the question by pointing to someone else who committed the same offense. It remains an offense!
Thank you for clarifying these statements.
Perhaps President Trump does not support neo-Nazis. Neo-Nazis certainly seem to support him.
Go watch Ken Burns’ documentary and then tell me it is not cut from the same cloth. Authoritarianism leads to fascism leads to persecution. Be prepared a Meir Kahana said so truthfully!
many democrats support the anti frum hate org, yaffed and its leader who has been spreading antisemitic tropes for a decade, the most recent one was their being behind a 4-page hate fest in the nyt that led to thousands of anti-semitic comments being posted online. while brave republicans like zeldin and cruz have ripped the hate peddling times. Disgustingly, many democrats like nadler actually supported this revolting article.
it is time someone put together a dossier of the overt anti-semitic lies published by nick and miriam moster, starting with nick’s article in the daily news taht claimed jews are taught to beat up Blacks and others and send it to the adl and deborah lipstat for immediate condemnation.
frum yiddenhave suffered attacks and worse that i think can be attributed to the hate peddlers at yaffed
YAFFED HATE MUST STOP NOW!
Mr. Trump has no ambition other than making money & self promotion. It doesn’t matter who is offering it to him, he’ll gladly take it. Whether it’s the leader of North Korea, Putin, Neo Nazi’s, Orthodox Jews, CNN, Jake Turx, or anyone else.
We appreciate his good parts but at this point, we need fresh leadership in the Republican party. Those who follow him blindly are a bunch of fools being taken for a ride.
Oh, poor Jake Turx thinks Biden used nasty comments against Trumpo… Waaaaaaaaa…. waaaaaaaaaa… waaaaaaaaaaaaaa….
Was Jake Turx sleeping the last few years when Trumpo and his supporters decided any sort of attempt to being politically correct was not something they would go by and they would be as nasty and mean as they want.
No one cares if you are nasty anymore. Get it. Your messiah destroyed any semblance of decency and now you are crying about it. Seriously get a life.
Oh, and for people who love defending Trumpo’s comments by ignoring the difficulty it was for him to condemn the neo-Nazis there and then the attempts to use language that would not upset his supporters, what is funny is you lose any ability to see context or even use your brains when repeating over some choice phrase Biden said. They hypocrisy is ridiculously apparent.
And expecting anyone to defend Biden’s “nasty” comments is a joke. When Trumpo spouted nasty comments you were all fine with them, so no, Biden can be as nasty as he wants to Tumpo and his supporters and no one owes you an apology. Or maybe, you can first apologize for the numerous nasty comments Trumpo and his supporters made these past few years and then we can discuss if maybe anyone should apologize for comments made against Trumpo or his supporters.
Many
Many on vin still repeat the same lies.
Yes all trump meant was there were so very innocent hicks who thought it’s a mitzva to defend the lee statue and didn’t notice the signs and chants of Jews will not replace us. It was a commotion and tumelt. Those folks were fine people.
What nonsense. Trump has been winking at the neo-Nazis since he started running for President. (Remember the meme he retweeted with the mogen Dovids and dollar signs?) As for Charlottesville, that was a neo-Nazi/white supremacist rally, nothing else. Fine people indeed.
