I must say, Rabbi Meyers has handled all of this like a true mensch.
In the face out incredibly ugly politics, he welcomed the President with a statement of patriotism. He served his congregants and the Jewish community with kindness. When prodded by CNN he was honest about his experience with the President, showing nothing but dignity.
From the Rabbi’s words, it seems that the Rabbi was expecting “Candidate Trump” from TV but when he had the opportunity to meet with him with the cameras off, had a honest moment with the First Family and found out they were not the monsters that the #Resistance has made them out to be.
What the Rabbi didn’t seem to realize is that kind of true representation of Trump is not allowed. Just ask the followers of CNN.
The Rabbi must be a stupid sucker who got conned by Trump.
Shame on the Rabbi for saying anything nice about the President who came to pay is respects to people killed in a horrible attack.
Of course, the only way the Rabbi would say anything nice about Trump is if he was already a Republican. There is no way someone can come across the aisle in an act of unity and honoring the dead. Why not suggest that the entire congregation is Republican, like that is such a dirty thing.
Sure, and add a little bit of the dual loyalty anti-Semitism in for flavor. They are just pro-Trump because Israel.
Right…. because when I think of stalwart Republicans I think of Jews from Pennsylvania.
He has served he Congregation wonderfully during this impossibly difficult time. Rather than get whipped into an anti-Frump frenzy, he was welcoming and pleasantly supersized by the President’s character. For that infraction against the Left, he must have his life as a Rabbi destroyed.
There were many like this. It’s amazing how many of the Left loved to praise the warmth of Hitler as a way of attacking Trump and the Rabbi. This one though, the wording was just so egregious I though it needed to be pointed out.
Ultimately this is what it comes to, violence.
The Rabbi was shot at and he watched his congregants die for being Jews. He had the audacity to say something nice about the President and the Left which as pouring out sympathy for him the day before now wants to hurt him.
Survive an attack by a white supremacist to receive a beating from Antifa.
There is a level of political engagement that turns a person into human garbage.
If you are so anti-Trump that your first reaction to a Rabbi that survived and anti-Semitic mass shooting, buried 11 of his congregants, met with President during the memorial, and didn’t use the media coverage of all of this to criticize Trump, is to attack him, insult him, and threaten him. Your soul has filled with shit and you should reflect on that.
The rabbi was a wonderful representative of the entire Jewish nation. His conduct sanctified the name of God for all world to see. A true kiddush Hashem.
