    I did not know "sleepy eyes" was an anti-Semitic slur. When I was told such here on Twitter, I went and looked it up. It is. And it's much worse than that. 1/https://twitter.com/Stonekettle/status/988070958337613825 …

        The term's origin comes from a list of criteria used by Nazis to determine who might be a jew. This list includes traits such as a widow's peak, dark curly hair, attached earlobes, weak or pointed chins, thick lips, head shape, and thick eyelids with "sleepy, wary eyes." 2/

        That list naturally found it's way to various neo-Nazi, White Supremacist, and other anti-Semitic groups after WWII. "How to spot a jew" is a common search phrase on Google, and the results are hundreds of variations on this list of Nazi-originated criteria. 3/

        Chuck Todd is Jewish, a fact that Trump most certainly knows. It is unlikely in the extreme that Trump would pick "sleepy eyes Chuck Todd" as an insult at random and without malice aforethought. 4/

        While Trump himself may or may not know the origin of the insult and who commonly uses that insult today, it's obvious he surrounds himself with people who use this term openly in the halls of government and business. 5/

        The President of the United States calling a Jewish person "sleepy eyes" isn't funny or clever or harmless. If Trump DOESN'T honestly know that he's engaged in an anti-Semitic slur, that doesn't make it better, it makes it WORSE. 6/

        Because this tells you, Citizen, who he surrounds himself with and how utterly shameless they are in their hate and bigotry. More than anything, this is yet another indicator of just how dangerous and unqualified Trump is to be leader of our nation. 7/7

        Addendum: Trump apologist feedback acknowledged. Very well: Ask TRUMP what he meant. I don't want to hear YOUR interpretation, I want to hear it from Trump. Chuck Todd's eyes are no different, no more "sleepy" than anybody else's. They appear normal in every way. 8/

        It's an odd label, "Sleepy eyes." Not at all obvious, like weight based insults or hair color or height or even sex. Sleepy eyes. It's damned coincidental, damned peculiar, damned suspicious, given Todd's ethnicity. 9/

        But I'll bite: what DID Trump intend with this insult? Let's ask him. What prompted it? Who did Trump hear it from? What was the impetus of the label? Come now, let's have it. 10/10
