REVIEW: ‘The Brutalist’

It is an epic vision of America on a genuinely grand scale.

Chuck Schumer calls Thomas Massie's Zionism-related meme post 'antisemitic, disgusting, dangerous'



Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) accused GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky of making an anti-Semitic post after Massie posted a meme suggesting that Congress has been averse to American patriotism while embracing Zionism.

"Rep. Massie, you're a sitting Member of Congress. This is antisemitic, disgusting, dangerous, and exactly the type of thing I was talking about in my Senate address. Take this down," Schumer tweeted in response to Massie's post.

"If only you cared half as much about our border as you do my tweets," Massie replied.

"Thomas Massie, a House Republican, is pitting American patriotism against Zionism. Most Americans are both pro-America and pro-Israel and see no contradiction between the two," Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York tweeted.

The House voted 311-14 on Tuesday in favor of a resolution which, in part, declares that the House decries anti-Semitism, supports the Jewish community, and "clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism."

While 13 Democrats voted against the resolution, Massie was the only House GOP lawmaker who voted against it. A whopping 92 Democrats voted present.

In a social media post on Monday, Massie had stated his intention to vote against the resolution, writing, "Anti-Zionism isn't antisemitism."

In that tweet, Massie shared a video clip of Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) saying that it is "either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong" to assert that all anti-Zionism represents anti-Semitism.

Nadler, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) had noted in a statement that they planned to vote present. They urged their colleagues to do the same.

"Among other problems with this resolution, H. Res. 894 does not account for the complexity of Judaism itself and ignores nuanced examples such as the Satmar sect, a Hasidic Jewish movement, which remains staunchly anti-Zionist and quite obviously is not antisemitic," the Democratic lawmakers said in the statement.
