As more anti-Semites seized upon Agnew's line as confirmation of their conspiracies about the "Jew-Commites on the air," the Nixon White House rushed to distance itself from them. Most of the media accepted the argument that it had been "wholly unintentional" on Agnew's part.pic.twitter.com/iyQwG7Gjh3

Of course, these new revelations from @maddow tonight suggest that the anti-Semitism of that speech, and Agnew's other attacks on the media too, might not have been unintentional in the slightest.https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1098781235160203265 …

Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't take this chance to note the time Dick Cavett informed the world that "Spiro Agnew" is an anagram of "Grow a Penis." No, no. You're welcome.

Here's a follow-up thread I did this morning, on the role that Pat Buchanan played in all this -- as the author of Agnew's speech, but also as the politician who carried this anti-Semitic line forward to the current day.https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1098954422716112897 …

I am a pretty faithful
@maddow listener - thank you, RM and team! - but tonight was one of the few times I've watched with utter astonishment. Was a child back in the Agnew / Nixon days, but still, how did I not know this? (I don't mean the Saudi part, which, whoa.)Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer

Just saw that on Maddow too. WTF???? Did Agnew have an actual game plan in mind or do you think he was just trying to con some pocket money from the Saudis?? Either way, OMG.

Unless he was just telling them what they wanted to hear?

There’s no doubt about it. Deliberate, intentional, and calculated.

Antisemitism has been a mainstay of the Republican party since Reagan's courting of evangelicals. It was always there before but never so pronounced. The GOP of today is only pro-Israel as it aligns with their biblical 'end-of-times' view.
