Whereas forwarding the smear of former President Donald Trump as an antisemite attributable to his suggestion that Jews voting in opposition to him “needs to be ashamed”, CNN’s Dana Bash falsely recommended that Trump’s dinner with famous antisemite Nick Fuentes was intentional.
Watch as Bash ranges that smear in the direction of the tip of her alternate with U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Israel:
J.D. VANCE: We have now to recollect, Donald Trump may be very direct right here…
DANA BASH: Nicely, you stated he was proper.
VANCE: …and he hasn’t singled out Jewish-People. He singled out lots of people for voting for Joe Biden and suggesting they have to get up and elect him as president in 2024. So I do not assume there’s any effort to single out Jewish-People, and simply on that individual query about tropes, I imply, look, we all know that Jewish-People and non Jewish-People care about our ally, Israel. We all know that Jewish-People and non Jewish-People care rather a lot about these ridiculous protests. I even have a pal of mine whose brother was graduating from Columbia, who had the commencement ceremony canceled. And that is a non-Jewish one who cares rather a lot about these anti-semitic protests. So I feel the truth that Donald Trump is speaking about Jews in that individual context doesn’t imply he does not assume the identical classes apply to an entire host of Americans.
BASH: Yeah, as a result of he did say that any Jewish one who voted for Joe Biden needs to be ashamed of themselves. I wish to transfer on.
VANCE: However he’s made comparable feedback about a variety of completely different teams of individuals, Dana. I do not assume anyone may take a look at the presidency and the conduct of Donald Trump and say, it is a one who’s in some way anti-semitic. And I feel whether or not you are Jewish or not, you need to be trying on the document of Joe Biden
BASH: He had dinner with Nick Fuentes, who’s an avowed anti-semite.
VANCE: Dana, you must take a look at the document of Joe Biden and acknowledge that, whether or not you’re Jewish or not, his presidency has been a catastrophe for the American folks.
The interview began out with a dialogue on President Joe Biden’s determination to withhold navy help from Israel . To Bash’s credit score, that individual portion of the interview featured no appeals to the authority of Ronald Reagan.
The interview then shifts to the accusations of anti-semitism in opposition to Trump. Earlier, we famous the emergence of this bizarre reclassification of a shopworn enchantment to pursuits as an “anti-semitic trope”.
Irrespective of 1’s emotions over Trump’s statements, they don’t rise to something greater than an opinion. Black and Hispanic conservatives get excoriated by the left on a regular basis for “voting in opposition to their self-interest”, and nobody ever accuses these leftists of being anti-Black or anti-Hispanic, nor do such statements ever draw any media scrutiny. Cheap people are left to gained(D)er why that’s.
Bruce’s fabrication of an anti-semitism the place there may be none smacks of media firefighting, meant to guard President Biden not simply from the fallout of the munitions block, however from his personal current “very advantageous folks” second, in addition to showing weak on Israel.
The broader adoption of this speaking level confirms our thesis. However Bash provides a brand new wrinkle, bolstering the pretend trope with one other occasion falsely packaged as proof evident of Trump’s alleged antisemitism: famous antisemite Nick Fuentes crashing Mar-a-Lago for dinner with Kanye West.
Bash confidently uttered “He had dinner with Nick Fuentes, who’s an avowed anti-semite” as a definitive tu quoque regardless of multisource affirmation that Trump was blindsided by Fuentes. Per then-NBC reporter Marc Caputo:
Trump has since stated he didn’t know Fuentes or his background after they dined collectively, a declare Fuentes confirmed in an interview, however others on the crowded members-only membership discovered his identification.
Why let the reality get in the best way of smear? The interview strikes on to the continuing New York trial and closes with Bash making an attempt to nook Vance on the 2024 election.
As this interview demonstrates, if we didn’t have Regime Media we’d don’t have any media in any respect.

DANA BASH: I wish to ask about one thing that Donald Trump stated in- on social media. He stated, “what Biden is doing with respect to Israel is disgraceful. If any Jewish individual voted for Joe Biden, they need to be ashamed of themselves. He is completely deserted Israel”. You tweeted that Donald Trump was proper about that. So I simply wished to be clear. Do you assume that Jewish individuals who voted for Joe Biden needs to be ashamed of themselves?
J.D. VANCE: What I feel, Dana, is that folks ought to take a look at the document right here and acknowledge that Donald Trump has truly been actually good for the State of Israel. We had peace and prosperity in our nation, and we had a really stalwart ally of the Israelis. Now, Joe Biden as president, the Israelis have been attacked, you have bought these horrible campus protests with a variety of anti-semitic overtones throughout our nation, and also you even have him making an attempt to micromanage the Israeli response to them being attacked. Do I feel it is cheap to have a look at this case and say that when you’re a Jewish-American who cares in regards to the State of Israel, who cares about these anti-semitic riots and say, you need to be on the aspect of Republicans in 2024 as a result of they govern successfully on among the points that you simply care about? I feel it is a completely cheap argument to make, and I feel that Donald Trump’s going to maintain on making it.
BASH: , traditionally, the notion of claiming to Jews, “you must put Israel first and what occurs in Israel first”, and never type of take into account them Americans first has been used as an anti-semitic trope. Do you- do you acknowledge that there and maybe that language is not precisely on level while you’re speaking about one thing that may be very, very sick- it’s a tinderbox proper now.
VANCE: We have now to recollect, Donald Trump may be very direct right here…
BASH:: Nicely, you stated he was proper.
VANCE: …and he hasn’t singled out Jewish-People. He singled out lots of people for voting for Joe Biden and suggesting they have to get up and elect him as president in 2024.
