Oh, good: We're already to the point in the 2020 campaign cycle in which a white nationalist administration parroting white nationalist talking points in defense of openly white nationalist policies is going to explain to all of us that actually it's everybody else that's an anti-Semitic pile of hate.
Because every news cycle these days has to be Extraordinarily Stupid, now the most crackpottian of Republican ex-governor crackpots also has to weigh in. Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who trails behind him a long history of racist statements, took to a radio program to explain that Jewish Americans are the financiers of the Democratic Party. “The Jewish people in America have been great supporters of the Democratic Party,” he said. “In fact, that’s where their money comes from for the most part. They should be absolutely insulted for what [Omar's] been saying.”
If there was anyone who could wedge an anti-Semitic trope about Jewish money into their hand-wringing about anti-Semitism, it would be Paul LePage. Or Donald Trump. Or, let's be honest, about a hundred other top conservatives who continue to use their offices to promote conspiracy theories about George Soros being secretly behind worldwide migration patterns while insisting that they don’t mean anything untoward by that. Or the untold millions of conservatives who demand the United States be run as a "Christian nation," one in which Jewish and other Americans should remain silent and be damn thankful if our court systems grant them any protections at all.
Pronouncing, based on no evidence whatsoever, that this or that target of Republican bigotries ought actually to ally themselves with Republicans is a standard conservative device in conferences, magazines, and speeches. It is usually the sole effort made to court those groups: an insistence that, well, Republicans may be the ones demanding laws be changed to curtail minority voting rights or protect "Christian" bigotries against other religions or sects, but those groups are actually "slaves" on the "Democratic plantation," or are being used as the secret financiers of Republican opponents. It absolutely never works, because people have eyeballs. They know damn well what's going on in their lives, and which politicians are openly hostile to them, and which are not.
This, too, is a rhetorical device culled from white supremacist circles. The ones that feign respectability are quick to pronounce their supposed "respect" for the targets of their wrath, and declare that they are just trying to help by, you know, reducing the current friction between lily-white subliterates and everyone else. It is not genuinely intended to convince the targets of their hate, but instead is a show put on to convince their fellow bigoted monsters that they are not actually the spite-filled, twitching, and paranoid crapsacks that the evidence suggests them to be.
