From The New York Times:
Ivanka Trump, Disregarding Federal Guidelines, Travels to N.J. for Passover
Oh no, she disregarded guidelines. Guidelines, people. Guidelines.
How dare that Jew disregard federal guidelines.
Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s eldest daughter and a senior White House adviser, has positioned herself as one of the leaders of the administration’s economic relief efforts and one of its most vocal advocates of social distancing
But Ms. Trump herself has not followed the federal guidelines advising against discretionary travel, leaving Washington for another one of her family’s homes, even as she has publicly thanked people for self-quarantining. And effective April 1, the city of Washington issued a stay-at-home order for all residents unless they are performing essential activities.
The Constitutionality of a stat at home order is very, very dubious.
Furthermore, for an Orthodox Jew, I’d argue that having a seder is “performing essential activities.” It’s pretty clear in the First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” I’m sure a stat at home order doesn’t have the authority to prohibit the free exercise of a seder.
I’d like to thank the Christians in Kentucky who will be suing the governor for sending the KSP after them on Easter for establishing that precedent.
Ms. Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who is also a senior White House adviser, traveled with their three children to the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey to celebrate the first night of Passover this month, according to two people with knowledge of their travel plans, even as seders across the country were canceled and families gathered remotely over apps like Zoom.
Bedminster is a private club and currently closed. So the Kushner/Trumps traveled in a private vehicle from their home in Washington to thier home in NJ to have a seder.
This is no different than us going to my mom’s house for seder, which we did. We took reasonable precautions and had a nice dinner.
Having a seder with family is more important this year because synagogues were closed.
I don’t see what the risk to anyone was with this seder travel.
Before leaving for Bedminster, Ms. Trump appeared at her father’s side in the White House’s Roosevelt Room after lobbying top bank executives to commit to the Paycheck Protection Program, a relief effort intended to help small businesses weather the pandemic. Ms. Trump has been focused on helping small businesses become a path to the country’s economic recovery, and at the event, Mr. Trump, as he often does, falsely credited his daughter with creating “over 15 million jobs.”
Now I get it. She’s a Trump and is part of the President’s plan to reopen the economy before 25 million Americans go bankrupt.
Therefore it’s okay to shame the Jew for having a private seder in the family estate (Bedminster is the location of the Trump family mausoleum).
This is the Left in America: “Antisemitism is terrible, except when it comes from our side directed at Orthodox Jews and/or Jews associated with the GOP, then its totally fine.”
This article was grotesque and unnecessary but totally on brand for the human shit stains on the fabric of society that are the writers for The New York Times.
Trump daughter attends private family seder meal, in accordance with the Jewish right of Passover. “BREAKING QUARANTINE! THREAT TO US ALL! GET HER!”
Bunch of Christians attend drive-in Easter service, stay in their cars, and maintain social distancing even between vehicles, despite keeping their windows up. “BREAKING QUARANTINE! THREAT TO US ALL! GET THEM!”
Muslims presumably continuing to attend mosque, in-person, and mingling with people outside their immediate families. **crickets**
Poor blacks in Harlem continuing to jam-pack the subways to get to … whatever jobs haven’t been closed down as “non-essential”, in accordance to what their Democrat overseers told them about the “non-seriousness” of the virus. **crickets**
The double standard on display would be unbelievable if it weren’t coming from the Left, where such things are the norm.
^ Jewish RITE of Passover ^ — stupid auto-correct…
Although in retrospect, given the First Amendment, the former spelling is every bit as valid as the latter.
