Indiana AG Tries to Clean Up Supporting Kanye Wests Anti-Semitism By Blasting Media and Hollywood ElitesIndiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) has responded to the backlash over his stunning defense of Kanye Wests anti-Semitic social media posts with some awkward clean-up.
In a post Sunday afternoon, Rokita saluted the rappers independent thinking this one day after West declared he was going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE in a post now-deleted by Twitter.
Rokita walked by his support of West by going after the media and Hollywood elites.
My post was specifically and clearly aimed at the hypocrisy of the media and Hollywood elites, not anything to do with other comments, Rokita wrote. I have an obvious, clear and substantial Congressional and public record of being 100% supportive of the Jewish community and Israel.

For Jewish people, always have been by conservatives.
Any conservative who makes statements like that asshole did and then claims they support Israel is either a straight out liar or they are religious whack jobs who long for the apocalypse where Jews will die if the dont become Christian.

So of course the RW extremists would defend hateful extremism by claiming it's "fair and accurate" and "entitled to his opinion".
RWers love Israel because reasons. They don't love American Jews quite as much since most are liberal.
