Antisemitism Update

When your party is too racist:

Pa. Supreme Court justice leaves Democratic Party, blames antisemitism​

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht announced Monday that he is leaving the Democratic Party, citing “hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions.”

“I can no longer abide by this. So, I won’t. I am no longer registered within any political party,” he said in a fiery statement that included apparent references to Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine, pro-Palestinian protests, “attacks” at synagogues and antisemitic rhetoric that he alleges party figures have engaged in.

Wecht, 63, was first elected to the state’s high court as a Democrat in 2015 and won a 10-year term last year.

“My jurisprudence and adjudication have always been independent, and they always will be,” he said. “Now, my voting registration reflects that independence as well.”

The change in party affiliation probably won’t affect the dynamic of the court much. Four of its seven justices are now Democrats.

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NOTUS.

Wow!! I agree 100% with his comments regarding Platner.

Wow!! I agree 100% with his comments regarding Platner.

The "big tent" now warmly embraces a guy with a Nazi tattoo while simultaneously labeling everyone who disagrees with them as a Nazi.

If that's not crazy world, I can't imagine what it.

The guy has a point.

Antisemitism is a Hallmark of Leftism.

Antisemitism is a Hallmark of Leftism.

It is found across the political spectrum. It is an essentially rightist position (just look at how the parties lined up in the Dreyfus Affair), but it is prevalent on the left and center-left as well.

 

[as seen on tv]

Pennsylvania's governor is jewish also. some neo-nazi nutjob threw a molotov cocktail at the governors official residence last year.

i don't believe the governor (shapiro?) will switch parties to republican. he is rumored to have presidential ambitions.
