John James, independent thinker (oh, and wtf: "our Jewish friends")

I'm not sure it helps to namecheck another minority group, which is also targeted by the radical right ("our Jewish friends" ) to make this point. This is Senate candidate John James this morning in a local TV interview.





“While this type of antisemitic rhetoric that portrays Jews as exhibiting undue power or influence is hateful and dangerous, it is especially galling for James to pit Black and Jewish Americans against each other, when our bond, particularly in MI, is as strong+necessary as ever.

“Jewish Michiganders have another - far superior - choice in November. Our Senator @GaryPeters
has led the fight against antisemitism and white nationalism, and has championed increased security funding for synagogues.
