Can @politico explain to us how photoshopping money trees next to the only Jewish candidate for president and talking about how “cheap” and rich he is *isn’t* antisemitic?Or are they just letting this happen because he’s a progressive politician they don’t like? pic.twitter.com/O9qvDBw4ib

Notice the people willing to explain this away, yet when Ilhan’s words are taken out of context, they are the 1st to jump on her.Look at how these accusations are selectively enforced on the left, esp when it’s the *alt-right* actually committing antisemitic violence in the US.

Politico style book: “needed more context” = the previous tweet contained an anti Semitic trope.The current tweet contains a doctored photo of Bernie in front of a literal money tree and a house that is not his. Because that is better? https://t.co/T43RCVCoki pic.twitter.com/N8LfxgbiID

Bernie Sanders has three homes and a net worth approaching at least $2 million.In a strict, bottom-line sense, he has become one of those rich people against whom he has so unrelentingly railed.https://t.co/PawDq3S07m
