When they show you who they are, then you better believe them. There’s a disturbing pattern among these so-called “progressives.”
Ryan Jenkins, president of the Progressive Caucus within the North Carolina Democratic Party, spewed numerous antisemitic tropes on the Jewish Caucus, which wanted the party to recognize them formally.
Jews control everything. The Jewish Caucus would lead to a takeover of the state’s Democrat Party. The Jews threaten and bully to get their way.
The state’s Democrat Party voted not to recognize the Jewish Caucus. Seventeen voted no, 16 voted yes, and 17 abstained from the vote.
Sounds like Jenkins and his pals would get along well with the progressives in DC. From WFAE:
He said many progressives are adamant that the caucus not be included. He said there is talk they would boycott the 2024 election if the state party reverses course.“If the Democratic Party caves to it, that’s the end of the Democratic Party. We’re not Democrats, we’re the Jewish Caucus. We’re a Zionist group. Because they control everything. (If we approve the caucus) We’re telling them very clearly they are allowed to threaten and bully us and they will get their way every single time and that our rules don’t apply.”—“What you are seeing is basically a very small group of rich white people who have never been held accountable for anything, who have never faced consequences for anything, throwing a temper tantrum because they are facing consequences for once,” Jenkins said. “And their only mode is, ‘Oh well you must be antisemitic — because I’ve never done anything wrong.’”Jenkins also questioned the need for a Jewish Caucus when the party already has an “Interfaith Caucus.”
Holy crap. I reread Jenkins’ comments at least five times.
North Carolina’s Democrat Party has numerous overlapping caucuses! It has a Young Democrats Caucus, a Teenagers Caucus, and a College Students Caucus.
Why does it need an LGBTQ Community Caucus and a Transgender Community Caucus?
I demand a Ginger Caucus within all political parties.
Jenkins eventually apologized for his remarks:
Update: Jenkins apologized Saturday morning “to anyone who misinterpreted (his comments) as playing to antisemitic tropes about secret cabals and other racist nonsense. Seeing it in print, I realize that I chose my words poorly and should have been more exact.”
Jenkins had to read his comments to realize he repeated some of the most well-known antisemitic tropes.
“Jews controlling everything” is probably the one antisemitic trope that everyone knows!
