"A Facebook post by the Bracken County Republican Party attacking the new director of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as being part of the "Jewish junta" drew criticism Friday from Jewish leaders in Kentucky. “A Jewish anti-gun activist, Steve Dettelbach, has just been made director of the ATF," read the Facebook post. "The Jewish junta is getting stronger and more aggressive.” The post — linking to a tweet Tuesday from a gun reform organization celebrating Dettelbach's Senate confirmation — went on to criticize two Republican senators who voted for his confirmation. Asked in a voicemail and text who made the post, Bracken County GOP chair Karin Kirkendol initially replied in a text that she hadn't read it. The post was deleted shortly thereafter and Kirkendol did not respond to follow-up questions about the author of the post.
Three Republican legislators were criticized by Jewish groups and colleagues during this year's session of the Kentucky General Assembly for making offensive statements toward Jewish people. Rep. Walker Thomas, R-Hopkinsville, and Sen. Rick Girdler, R-Somerset, each used the antisemitic phrase "Jew them down" during a February committee discussion on state agency leases, while the following month Rep. Danny Bentley, R-Russell, made comments on the House floor about Jewish women's sexual habits and false claims about the Holocaust and abortion medication."
There was no reason to mention the fact that the ATF director is Jewish and then talk about bullshit like "Jewish juntas" -- if you weren't trying to pander to the Anti-Semite Neo-Nazi types in your base...and what the fuck is a Jewish junta? Is this more of that Jewish-space lasers funded by George Soros talk? More of that "Jews Will Not Replace Us-White Replacement" talk?? If the ATF director was Baptist, would you be referring to him as a Christian and then talk about Christian juntas?? Of course they are pandering to racists in their base...for which there must be obviously more than a few.....Below is the GOP response once they started receiving push back for their bullshit...it's the same response every time....push Neo-Nazi bullshit...then play dumb about it after....
Now suddenly, you have no idea who was running your "OFFICIAL REPUBLICAN PARTY" Facebook account? Yea, sure.....Remember when I made the post about Neo-Nazis and anti-Semitism -- and the right-wingers got triggered and twisted themselves into pretzels to cape up for Nazis -- now you see why.....
