      XPost: soc.culture.jewish, alt.politics.democrats, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: democrat-insurrection@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2025/01/21/us-news/aoc-slammed-for-dragging-adl-over-       elon-musks-salute-defense/              Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to       the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward       gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute.              Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused the antisemitism watchdog group of “defending       a Heil Hitler salute” before arguing that the ADL “works for” President       Trump and his allies.              “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was       performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in       response to the ADL on X.              “People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable       source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that       crystal clear to all,” she added.              Footage of Musk thanking Trump supporters took off Monday, with many       questioning whether the tech mogul did a fascist salute after he placed       his right hand over his heart and extended his arm in the air.              The ADL took to X in Musk’s defense, writing, “It seems that [Musk] made       an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,” and       argued people on both sides of the aisle shouldn’t jump to conclusions.              Many social media users quickly took offense at AOC’s response, calling       out the Bronx and Queens rep for trying to explain antisemitism to the       watchdog group, with one commentator noting: “We now have AOC jewsplaining       to the ADL.”              Another X user chimed in: “AOC trying to Jewsplain to the ADL why they are       antisemitic. She’s officially lost her mind.”              Some users used the moment to drag Ocasio-Cortez, who has been an       outspoken critic of Israel and previously accused the country of       committing “genocide” against the Palestinian people.              “If, like @ADL, you fight antisemitism every day, I’m ready to       respectfully hear your opinion on what Elon Musk intended. THAT’S NOT WHAT       @AOC IS DOING. This is a cynical political game for her. She supports       antisemites. She’s scoring cheap points against the ADL because they       support the rights of ALL Jews including Israeli Jews,” one person wrote.              https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/aoc-slammed-       jewsplaining-adl-group-97084068.jpg?resize=435,491&quality=75&strip=all              Others took offense at Ocasio-Cortez going against one of the most       prominent American Jewish civil rights organizations in the US just       because it didn’t fit her agenda.              “Just to be clear, AOC is trying to delegitimize the preeminent American       Jewish civil rights organization here after spending the last 15 months       defending those guilty of the very ideology the ADL was founded to       combat,” one commentator argued.              “The ADL gave a good sound statement and AOC just went for its neck       because it didn’t align with her politics. The U.S. political debate is       already off the rails and it’s not even day one. If AOC wants to blame       someone for encouraging antisemitism she should look at the mirror,”       another person added.              Meanwhile, Musk defended the one-armed gesture he gave during Trump’s       inauguration — arguing the left-wingers who accused him of giving a Nazi       salute “need better dirty tricks.”              “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk wrote on X.              Musk later thanked the ADL for coming to his defense, writing, “Thanks       guys,” along with a crying laughing face emoji.                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and       eradicated.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
