Rick Rosner: You said you talked to the Southern Poverty Law Center today about antisemitism. So here’s another angle on it because Kamala Harris is married to a Jewish guy. One of the front runners to be her VP, assuming that she is the nominee and it looks good for her, is Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania, who’s a Jewish guy.
So if that is the ticket, or even if it isn’t, and even outside of that, the number of antisemitic incidents in the US in the past few years has tripled. That was before Israel started acting like murderous assholes in Gaza.
So this could be a huge time for Jewish hate in America because there are two Jewish or Jewish-adjacent people on the Democrats’ ticket. Plus, Kamala Harris hits several other minority checkmarks. She’s Black, she’s Asian, she’s a woman.
We could be looking at a ton of racist shit coming from MAGA assholes, which could cause stochastic terrorism or even regular old terrorism. So yes, it’s a good time to talk to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The end.
