    Ilhan Omar quoted some very famous rap lyrics in a context that sounded anti-Semitic. When told why this was wrong, she apologized. Gina Carano tweeted out a Der Sturmer style image, hasn't apologized for it, and it is still up. Guess who @jonathanchait urges we forgive?pic.twitter.com/mGNkc4GutM

        I'm told that image is actually the essence of conservatism

        jonathan chait has always been a critically unserious person, though. people need to stop expecting him to be a beacon of morality, because he's really not.

        To be fair, I bet Gina saw a picture of old white guys playing money games on the backs of regular people and thought that was the message of the picture. I highly doubt she applied the historical context to it.

        Ignorance of anti-Semitism while promoting it isn't any more of an excuse than ignorance of epidemiology is an excuse for anti-vax/anti-maskism

        Isn't that the same image as the mural that Jeremy Corbyn got criticized for?

        Yes, a similar mural and he apologized. That's the crucial difference

        gotta love Ben Shapiro and the rest of the conservabros rushing to the defense of sharing that image as if they wouldn’t have blown a gasket if Omar shared it.
