Kentucky GOP group blames hacker for calling new US firearms regulator part of a 'Jewish junta'

[Behind the Aegis]

When Steve Dettelbach was confirmed last week as the director of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, he became the beleaguered bureau’s first head to pass a Senate confirmation in eight years. For some, the confirmation offered hope of a changing tide in America’s sea of mass shootings.

But a county Republican group in Kentucky saw a different story: that Dettelbach is part of a “Jewish junta” that “is getting stronger and more aggressive.”

The Bracken County Republican Party, representing a rural county with a population of around 8,400 along the Ohio River near Cincinnati, made the comment Friday on its official Facebook page, two days after Dettelbach’s July 12 confirmation.

In calling Dettelbach “a Jewish anti-gun activist,” the county GOP group attacked the two Republican senators, Susan Collins of Maine and Rob Portman of Ohio, who voted for his appointment. It also attacked two Republican Senators, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and James Risich of Idaho, who were not present for the vote, saying, “It’s obvious they want to move on from having to defend rural gun owners.”

1. Prove it. These excuses when someone is caught doing something stupid are getting tiresome and old,

such as this one, a hacker did it.

2. LOL! I thought you were talking to ME!

I was like, "I didn't say it!" But, yeah, totally agree with your comment. This type of excuse making is tiresome, and as a few other DU'ers showed, ever so predictable.

4. Ha ha heh...sorry, I should have been more clear in my sentiment. I hear this sentiment time in,

time out, and it's like the saying 'thoughts and prayers'...I want to barf.

Take care!

7. I predict they would call for the Super Bowl to be turned into

a night of watching them throw Non-Christians to the lions.

8. There are plenty of Nazis who deny being Nazis, here in KY.

9. Pretty sure I have a couple of neighbors who collect SS memorabilia.

They won't say it, but you can tell by how far right they are on the political scale.

10. Rep. Walker Thomas, R-Hopkinsville, and Sen. Rick Girdler, R-Somerset, each used the antisemitic

phrase "Jew them down" during a February committee discussion on state agency leases, while the following month Rep. Danny Bentley, R-Russell, made comments on the House floor about Jewish women's sexual habits and false claims about the Holocaust and abortion medication.
