‘Christian veterans’ protest outside Jewish politician’s home as pastor compares vaccine mandates to Nazis

A staged protest at the home of a Jewish politician in Ohio has left the target feeling like he is the victim of Christian antisemitic intimidation, while a prominent Jewish Senate candidate has chosen to side with the protesters, who say that vaccine mandates are analogous to “Germany in World War II.”

The ordeal started when state Rep. Casey Weinstein, a Democrat from Hudson, Ohio, and one of only two Jewish members in the Ohio House, was confronted at his home Jan. 23 by a group of around 35 men waving American flags alongside other flags reading, “Stand For The Flag, Kneel For The Cross.”

The men approached Weinstein’s front lawn and took pictures and video of him and his house, frightening his children, in what Weinstein described to the Cleveland Jewish News as “a show of force trying to intimidate me,” and as an act of antisemitism. “As a Jewish man that’s how I take it,” he said.

The men, who identified themselves to a neighbor as “Christian veterans,” said they were there “to make Casey Weinstein be better,” but would not elaborate on their purpose.

1. They're getting bolder because they're not getting pushback. Until people start pushing back, it's

going to get worse.

2. It is the "worse" that I fear is coming.

Will a "protest" like this end up like a Jan. 6th scenario at a politician's home, ending in said politician being murdered?

4. Anything is possible. These people are brainwashed daily, sent into existential panic by the

talking heads they follow like revivalist preachers, whipped up into a need to "do something" to stop the 'leftist takeover.'

6. Seems that is how they identify and their threats are related to it.

So, yeah, Christian.

7. Being a veteran isn't a free pass to be an asshole

8. No mention of "priest" in the headline or the article. "Pastor" does not translate to "priest".

Many denominations have "pastors".
Please correct because of the incorrect judgment made.
I am totally against protesting against this man and anyone based on religion, and disagree with the premise of the protest in this case.

9. That is how the article was originally posted.

I simply posted the headline at the time. I will correct based on the change but not on your odd claim of "incorrect judgment made".
