WSJ: Can't even quote what politicians actually say
So a politician peddles antisemitic tropes and when people report what he actually said, suddenly repeating his own words is the problem. This is the state of discourse: the solution to bad speech is pretending it never happened. Not confronting it. Not pushing back. Just erasing it from the record so nobody has to deal with the reality of what people are saying out loud.
From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: After losing a primary election Tuesday night, Rep. Thomas Massie peddled the oldest antisemitic trope in the book: that conniving Jews hold secret power, writes @matthennessey https://on.wsj.com/4fygtbZ
