Shocking! Being Jewish is a political liability for Democrats
CNN anchors held a discussion that stunned even Democrats: They talked about the Jewishness of Democratic candidates as a factor in their electability.
Speaking about Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia) and his possible run for the presidency, one anchor said, “He is Jewish; he might be the Democrat that can thread the needle, because even though he’s Jewish, he’s very critical of the Israeli government, very critical of Benjamin Netanyahu. He has credibility on that issue, so it’s possible that I think he could be — fill that lane in between the two extremes of the Democratic Party.”
In other words, Ossoff might be a Jew who might be acceptable to Democrats, because being Jewish is now a liability when running for office within the Democratic Party.
