because he is Jewish. His polices are cruel and heartless. His heritage and religion have nothing to do with my judgement of him. Is that wrong?

It's not bigotry to judge an individual on the basis of their actions and personal qualities. It is bigotry to judge them on the basis of their heritage or religious background. They're trying to fuck with people's minds by conflating the two. Don't fall for it.

If it's antisemitic to dislike Miller, than I would guess that the majority of Jewish people in this country would qualify.

(Of course, I'm the person who honest to god thought Henry Kissinger was a real Nazi, and was totally flabbergasted to learn HE was Jewish)

But it's possible to criticize or be against someone without being anti-semitic, racist, sexist, ageist, or any other "ist" out there.

The how does one explain Hitler? Did he just kill 6 million
fellow JEWS just for fun?

Or, like Miller was it out a deep seated hatred for his own
heritage?

Either way he is an evil racist allowed to spew his self-hated to
the citizens of a free nation.

The White House is the source of all the hatred in America today!

and his own Uncle has nothing good to say about him either. Doesn't matter if he is Jewish, you'd think he would know better after his own nationality went through being exterminated.

old article still relevant

Absolutely ANYTHING. If her king tells her the world is flat, she'll step out in front of the cameras and in all seriousness proclaim it to be true.

Where on Earth do they find these twisted toadies?

Just read both their personal histories for solid proof. Both clearly are psychopaths with zero empathy.

Has nothing to do with their heritage other than bad DNA which can come through any set of parents.

Our primary task is to prevent people like this from getting into public office......

Being a minority doesn't mean said person can't also say/do bigoted things or even be a bigot. It is disgusting when bigotry is expressed and the person doing it (often others defending said person who have no skin in the game) claim the actual bigotry is against them!

I am sure there are some who are LOVING this news about Miller, but it doesn't mean his bigotry is excusable or that he the victim; he isn't.
