Incoming congressman complains it's hard to get Jews to stop being Jewish

And GOP leaders who claim to be concerned about antisemitism are silent.

House Republican leaders were silent on Monday after publication of an interview conducted by the Jewish Insider with Madison Cawthorn, a newly elected Republican congressman in North Carolina who made antisemitic comments about his failed effort to convert Jews to Christianity.

Cawthorn, an evangelical Christian who made headlines on Election Day for tweeting, "Cry more, lib," after his victory over Democratic candidate Moe Davis was announced, had been asked by interviewer Matthew Kassel if he had ever tried to convert Jews.

"I have, unsuccessfully. I have switched a lot of, uh, you know, I guess, culturally Jewish people. But being a practicing Jew, like, people who are religious about it, they are very difficult," he told the outlet. "I've had a hard time connecting with them in that way.”

The American Independent Foundation reached out to Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steve Scalise, and GOP Conference chair Liz Cheney for comment; none immediately responded.

Did he time-travel from a different century? If Hollywood is casting a movie about World War II and Nazis, they should give this guy a call. He would be perfect.

[smirkymonkey]

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw him. "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!..."

9. Used to live in his district

Same place that hid the Olympic Bomber, Eric Rudolf, from authorities for five years!! These folks have hated government for 200 years. He's just a good example.

[Klaralven]

14. They've been hiding stills from revenuers for at least that long.

Interesting that he defeated a Democrat who was the former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo.

[bullwinkle428]

10. Further proof that Trumpism is more alive than ever.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. He's the one that admires Hitler. I'm sure that will win him some points...

in his quest to get Jews to abandon their religion.

[Yavin4]

13. But "Woke, SJWs" are the bigger problem, right Bill Maher? n/t

[bluestarone]

You’ll have to pry that corned beef on rye out of my cold, dead hands.

Stop being Jewish? Never!

Nice try, though.

[octoberlib]

24. Love Howard Dean and wish he was back at the DNC with his 50 state strategy!

[Dawson Leery]

21. The GOP is rekindling their old fling the with Nazis in the 1930's

[JHB]

22. Ask him the same about Catholics. Ask him whether Catholics are Christians...

If he says yes, he'll piss off other evangelicals. If he says no or dances around a direct answer, it will piss off conservative Catholics.

At election time, make sure the people he pissed of remember it. Better still, look for ways to remind them of it constantly.

[displacedtexan]

26. He's the grownup version of Rolf

The Nazi kid who blew the whistle on the Von Trapps.

[LakeArenal]

27. What are his flag pins? Don't look like our flag.

[Leith]

29. Somebody should remind him

of what nazis did to people with disabilities. Oh, but it's different now to be sure.

[liberaltrucker]

30. He'll be singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" any minute now.

[bdamomma]
