Silence from the religious right on Trump's Anti-Semitic dinner guests

There's been plenty of time to respond to this event. And there's been some, but not much and certainly not anything that indicates these people believe there is a problem here.

The mainstream media put some effort into getting statements from Evangelicals who usually have something to say about everything and everyone else. They got a small sampling of general statements, some comments that anti-Semitism is wrong, but I didn't see anything of substance, nor did I see anyone who actually came out and said they're no longer supporting Trump because of this latest ugly incident, on top of the lies, insurrection, fraud, adultery and sexual abuse.

It's inconsistent to claim that the Bible is without error and infallible, and yet support politicians who are divisive, turn opposition into mortal enemies and dehumanize anyone who disagrees with their politics. Jesus interpreted the commandment not to commit murder to mean that even hatred is murder. Marjorie Taylor Greene wishes she had organized January 6th, because she'd have brought guns. That's a definitive statement on her part if I've ever heard one. For people who are so adamant about protecting the life of the unborn, they are casually flippant and threatening when it comes to all other human beings. That's not even pseudo-Christian, it's anti-Christian.

2. They don't care. Their interest in the Jewish people is restricted to Israel's continued

existence, so their End Time fantasies can come to fruition and they get to live forever.

They don't give half a dead rat about the Jewish people.

Racial pride was a strong factor. While on page three of the Alabama Baptist the editor was praising an association for having “the purest Nordic blood among a larger proportion of its people than in any other county in the state,” on page six of the same issue M. E. Dodd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, was giving a lengthy defense of Hitler’s persecution of the Jews. While Jews “were not to be blamed for the intelligence and strength, so characteristic of their race, which put them forward,” Dodd said that they were using influential positions gained by these characteristics “for self-aggrandizement to the injury of the German people.” Baptists of America, North and South, might well identify with talk of restraining a race that was “‘destructive by nature,” according to a German Baptist quoted by Charles Clayton Morrison in The Christian Century (August 22, 1934).
