After the latest synagogue attack, right wing pundits were quick to insist that a group of progressive Muslim women should share the blame.
One of the oddities of this harrowing political moment is that after a murderous attack on a synagogue in the United States — the second in six months — an ABC News panel sought out the analysis of... Meghan McCain.
What McCain and so many other right-wing pundits are doing is weaponizing anti-semitism: hijacking a deadly attack against Jews to promote their anti-Muslim and racist agenda. This includes claiming an equivalence between the words of deranged white supremacists and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress. This not only puts Omar in further personal danger — it contributes to the ongoing and dangerous deterioration of the discourse on anti-semitism.
