Dem Who Claimed Bondi Beach Massacre was ‘Zionist False Flag’ Wins House Primary
PA-03, which includes Philadelphia, is said to be the bluest district in the U.S. and the only majority black district in Pennsylvania.
Minimizing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s then-recent victory in 2019, Nancy Pelosi famously said, “This glass of water would win with a ‘D’ next to its name in those districts.”
That may well have been the case for Pennsylvania Democratic House candidate Chris Rabb, a Democratic Socialist who once claimed in an Instagram post that the Bondi Beach massacre in December was a “Zionist false flag.”
Despite once promoting such an antisemitic — and far-fetched — conspiracy theory, Rabb, who is currently serving his fifth term as a state representative, won Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District handily. He received 44.7% of the vote, compared to his competitors: Sharif Street with 29.2% and Ala Stanford with 24.1%.
The candidates were vying for the open seat currently held by Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans, who is retiring. Evans threw his support behind Stanford, saying he “more than anybody has the ability to bring people together.”
Reacting to the news on Wednesday, journalist Danny Gold quipped, “Republicans lost [Kentucky Rep.Thomas] Massie, but the Dems gained a guy who said the Bondi Beach Massacre was a Zionist false flag, so it’s really sort of a wash.”

According to Rabb, “If you can’t name the demon, you can’t kill it.”

PA-03, which includes Philadelphia, is said to be the bluest district in the U.S. and the only majority black district in Pennsylvania.
In addition to Ocasio-Cortez’s backing, Rabb received endorsements from such progressive luminaries as Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and naturally, the Democratic Socialists of America.
In their endorsement statement, the DSA noted, “Rabb is our second Congressional endorsement this cycle.”
DSA is incredibly proud to endorse Rep. Rabb and make sure our voices are heard in the halls of power! … He has some tough opponents, and AIPAC and other dark money groups are already boosting his opponents.
Rabb also received an endorsement the radical and antisemitic Hasan Piker, the far-left podcaster who said the United States “deserved 9/11” back in 2019. According to The National Review, when asked if he supports Piker’s past controversial comments, Rabb replied, “I’m not aware of the language he’s used. I’m recently aware of who he is through my sons, actually.”
Ahead of his victory, Rabb told Politico, “I am the troublemaker of the three [candidates], and I believe we need a real troublemaker in troubled times. We need to shake things up.”
Perhaps that’s why Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, decided to back Rabb in the primary. “We are facing an existential crisis,” she said. “We need people who understand the urgency of right now. There are old ways of doing things and there are bold ways of doing things. And they’re not the same.”
Politico claims that recent redistricting efforts in red states “threaten to force up to one third of the 63-member caucus from office.” The outlet warns that could include Reps. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Bennie Thompson (D-MI).
Wouldn’t it be a shame to say goodbye to Clyburn — who famously saved former President Joe Biden’s floundering campaign in 2020 — and Thompson — who chaired the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol so fairly and impartially?
Citing the CBC as one of the most powerful voting blocs in Congress, Politico notes that Republican gerrymandering “has placed outsized importance on primaries that could impact Black representation in Congress.”
It’s important to note that both Street and Stanford are black. Street is a Pennsylvania state senator and the son of former Philadelphia Mayor John Street, while Ala Stanford is a physician and public health advocate known for founding the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium.
Perhaps it was Rabb’s reputation as a political disruptor that resonated with voters. More troubling, however, is the possibility that his open antisemitism was part of the appeal.
Either way, given how heavily Democratic the district is, Rabb is widely expected to cruise to victory in November — much like Ocasio-Cortez did in 2018.

I know the demon alright. More and more his name is Democrat, and mentally ill ones at that.
Black Muslim? The cradle of the Republic….. Philadelphia… how far the country has fallen by the Dem Party. The Soviets have their pyrrhic victory but Stalin, Mao and Lenin are still happy.
Philly and Boston are so far gone there is no way back.
All big cities, even
In red states
All minority are majority amd they want YOUR money amd they have gotten it by the. Billions, trillions
Chocolate cities.
Trump to the rescue for the general election? Or do we just let the intifada take over?
Demagogue. Now that I’ve named it does it mean by his logic I can kill it?
Massie lost because he had a track record of voting with the likes of AOC despite a deep red district. So it’s not a “wash”. It’s a plus.
I believe you failed to recognize sarcasm.
“[P]rogressive luminaries…”
Ladies and gentlemen, your oxymoron of the day.
Progressives such as those listed wouldn’t be luminaries even if you set them on fire (which I am, of course, not suggesting in case there are readers that are literally literal).
Yeah, they would smoke way too much to be “luminaries.”
OK, Rabb is only one of a number of Democrat candidates who have publicly called for the killing of Jews, including the creation of concentration camps. The Democrats are calling for a “final solution”.
A key proof of that is that so far not one Democrat has spoken out in opposition to it. It is Leftist catechism. When someone says that they want to kill you, believe them and act accordingly.
Subotai Bahadur
Unfortunately, the “they say it, they mean it” words are most likely one of the few truths they utter m
The good news from all that is: will make for good ad material in the November election.
Enough cope
A disruptor with equivalent bigotry towards black people or hispanics would have achieved zero votes in that district.
What that means is…..
The vile communist/Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist Dhimmi-crats can claim the distinction of featuring both white and black, Jew-hating National Socialists as among their prized candidates for U.S. Senate and Congress.
The Jew-hating, moronic, loud, black Muslim convert Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist, or non-Muslim, useful idiot ally, is such a prominent stock character, in the Dhimmi-crats’ vile clown theater troupe.
Al Sharpton;narcissist-incompetent-dunce, Obama; Louis Farrakhan; “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright; Raphael Warnock; Keith “Hakim” Ellison; Jamal Bowman; Chris Rabb; and too many other wicked and stupid reprobates to list, here.
According to The National Review
I don’t read them anymore, since they went GOPe*, but for the sake of Buckley, I will point out it’s “National Review“, not “The National Review.”
(* After Buckley passed, they basically argued to elect Republicans, without arguing that you needed to elect conservative Republicans who would actually enact a conservative, constitutionalist platform.)
Don’t be
Buckleypædantic. ;-{)}}}Heh. It was one of the things Buckley complained about. And it came partly from there being a similarly named leftist magazine back in the day that did start with “The”.
You made me laugh.
The New Republic, which usually seemed center-left to me, but I probably haven’t seen an issue since 2005. I subscribed to National Review when Reagan was president. Reagan wrote letters to the editor, which got published. I’m not sure when I stopped subscribing, but it was probably shortly after WFB, Jr., had passed.
As I keep pointing out, the people are the problem. Our Constitution is “wholly inadequate to the government” of people who desire safety over “the animating contest of freedom” and comfort over responsibility for governance.
Until we get a large enough mass of people who understand the Constitution AND hold fast to the Christian Enlightenment that underpins it, we can’t correct.
On the other hand, if you read the Anti-Federalist Papers, you’ll find that every abuse of power that they predicted has already come true. Our Founders should have stuck with the job of amending the Articles of Confederation instead of throwing them away and creating the mess we have today.
A lib can say any ignorant thing they want, and the party claps like trained seals,
Rabb needs to stop worrying about “The Jews” and start cleaning up his own community.
why
they are his soldiers
It does the say the direction of the Democrat part is one of open bigotry, conspiracy theories and antimsemitism. Hopefully with Massie in the cooler, the Republican party is going the opposite direction? Hatred is always popular and hatred of the Jews is a guarenteed crowd pleaser for some segment of the population. I remember David Duke being a state rep in Louisiana and running for president in the 1990’s. Also Pat Buchanan. It is true that many Black people hate Jews so it’s not surprising to me that this bigot won in a majority Black district. Just look at Louis Farakah, nation of Islam, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton gang and you understand what Jews are up against in the Black community. We are a nice easy scapegoat especially since for a long time we lived together in the same neighborhoods and Jewish professors were often hired at HBCUs (sometimes the only place that would hire them). There is animosity there that Jews got ahead becaue of their skin color or used and manipulated Black people to climb the social ladder. Never mind fighting together for Civil Rights all of that gets erased for the modern more sexy version of violence and “by any means necessary.”
blks have used everyone to climb up the government taxpayer funded ladder of success
those who fought in the military mightttt be some exception
the blk matriarchy did a great job in raising their fatherless childz
you dont want it
I dont want it
but they want it
a race war
trump loves the jews
they hate trump and freedom and the fact that “the jews” have bypassed their tribe
their hate for maga is intensifying with the addition of islam as their core
