We knew it would happen: At Long Last, Trump Blames The Jews For His Failed Campaign.

We knew this was coming. It came in his speech tonight.

Donald Trump lashed out at global elites who undermine American sovereignty through “international banks” — and many observers couldn’t help but notice the underlying anti-Semitic message.

Throughout the speech, Trump used harsh language that evoked old and ugly anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about international bankers who supposedly infiltrate national governments and control the global agenda. Citing recent Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks, Trump told the crowd that "Clinton meets in secret with international banks in order to plot the destruction of US sovereignty." Echoing the rhetoric of Alex Jones and other conspiracy theorists, Trump repeatedly referred to "globalists" as the true enemy and Clinton as their handmaiden.

The transformation of the GOP from a legitimate party to a fringe fascist enterprise is complete!

He, like a few others, claimed it was a "sheriff's star."

Unbelievable. I think it's time for a "The Tribe Has Spoken" moment, and he needs to be drummed out of the corps, to mix a few metaphors. He's starting out the year with plenty to atone for--I think he and the Donald need to go dwell in the wilderness. Maybe they'll learn something.

The Jews are usually blamed for a loss, no matter if it is republican or democrat. We make for an easy, convenient, predictable, and excusable target.
