A top adviser to President Donald Trump says he’s under “enormous pressure” both to quit and remain in the White House and says the administration “must do better” in condemning hate groups after the violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
White House economic adviser Gary Cohn tells the Financial Times: “As a Jewish American, I will not allow neo-Nazis ranting ‘Jews will not replace us’ to cause this Jew to leave his job.”
Cohn says he feels “compelled to voice my distress” over the Charlottesville incident, adding, “citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK.”
Trump was criticized after he said “both sides” were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville.
Was Jewish. Check it out on GENI. That explains why he’s trying to bend backwards.
Both sides are all leftists. neither one is ‘alt right’ or anything on the right wing side.
The original Nazis were the national socialist party and there is nothing right wing, about being a socialist.
Also conservatism in America is all about following the Constitution and America’s other founding documents (I.E. the Bill of Rights, the Amendments the Preamble and the Declaration of Independence).
Both of these sides want to curtail or totally eliminate these rights and freedoms which once again, is the opposite of conservative/right wing ideals.
As Lubavitchers, we should be as afraid of the left as the ‘alt right’. The ‘alt left’ is communist and we all know the hell the Frierdiker Rebbe and Judaism suffered in the hands of the communists. The ‘alt right’ (nothing politically conservative about them) represent nazis – 6 million Jews.
Supporting unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of freedom for individuals is the best place for Jews to be, עד כי יבא שילה.
Who would you rather be captured by, a anarchist radical leftist or a KKK person alternative rightest. Alternative left wants everyone killing everyone like in Sedom and the other side only hates some people. Both sides are clearly evil. One of these sides at least has some twisted form of bible and the other will kill anyone and everyone. Both are pure evil but which is more evil can simply be seen by looking at history. Mao and Stalin hated all religions and were haters like the alternative left and Hitler who was christian who had the popes blessings like… Read more »
You said: “no previous administration ignored, or condoned hate.” Actually the Obama administration did condone hate. He sided with Treyvon Martin who tried to beat George Zimmerman to death and also sided against the police when a racist college professor refused to cooperate with their investigation of an incident in which he might have been involved with. And he remained friends with Bill Ayers who had bombed the Pentagon and was openly proud of it. You are right in pointing out the hypocrisy of the left in attacking Trump, on false charges of supporting hate when the Obama administration, had… Read more »
If you want people to take you seriously, use proper spelling and grammar.
Second of all, they weren’t peacefully protesting the removal of a Confederate statue; they were using it as a show of white supremacy. When they chant “Jew will not replace us!” I’m pretty sure that is an agenda. When the president doesn’t come out and condemn white supremacists by name right away, and waits and gives them credence to their actions, that’s a problem. Obama couldn’t call Islamic terrorists by name and Trump can’t do the same with the white supremacists.
Du you even know what a globalist is? Please explain. Because it sounds like you have fallen victim to Breitbart propaganda of calling jews globalists. Perhaps the Trump agenda should stop funding Israel because it’s against his anti-globalist policy.
My point is try not to fall pray to the alt right propaganda. The alt right is evil and so is the alt left. As a jew we need the middle path. Extremes are never good and the people that are calling Cohen a globalist are extreme right fanatics.
Be alert to the dangers of antisemitism in this country.
For the past 8 years BHO and UN have been saying ( at best ) when there was a terror attack in Israel “we call on all sides” all sides?! What did we miss? Ppl on a bus ppl walking on the street?! So now when DJT says all sides they go meshuge for 2 weeks.
And how dare you have the audacity to say that antifa, black lives matter, and any other one of these liberal organizations are “citizens standing up for equality and freedom”!!!
Go look what they do by their protests. ( Oh wait you obviously won’t see any of that on the mainstream fake news.
Trump was 100% correct to blame both sides. The KKK and Antifa (the alt-Left) are both disgusting and both were violent and both should be marginalized and branded as hate groups.
The issue with Gary Cohen is not that he is Jewish, the issue is that he is a globalist and does not support the agenda that Trump ran on. Time to stop playing the victim card.
President Trump has condemned the KKK multiple times. What more does he have to do?
The KKK’s freedom of speech rights are protected by the constitution as the supreme court ruled in 1977 after being sued by the ACLU (yes, the ACLU sued on behalf of the KKK).
Cohn is a coward jumping on the media driven bandwagon. The “citizens standing up for equality and freedom” are violent anti-Semitic thugs. Why is Cohn standing up for them?!
we are being hypocrite’s by only demanding condemnation of hate now. no previous administration ignored, or condoned hate. Not that its ok in any way now.
I think ppl are taking Trump’s words out of context. He was saying the truth. That when u have a kkk walking down the st peacefully. And u have a antifa with a rock and throw it at his head. The Antifa is the cminal here. This is usa. We need our religious freedom. When doing caporos if s/o doesn’t like it. They have right to throw rocks?? cuz of our “hate” to the chickens. I’m not supporting kkk but in our country we have freedom of expression and us religious Jews need the gov. to protect us.
because the animal broke out and started opining on which Americans were good thinking and which not, every President has to do so? No. The President is the chief Executive of the Government of the United State of America. It isn’t his role to tell anyone what to think. We didn’t elect a magid. These politicians need to stop sounding off about good and bad think. I don’t care if they are right or wrong. It isn’t there role. The legislature should pass good law, the executive should implement the laws and formulate and execute a wise foreign policy and… Read more »
