This week in the annals of Republican projection, just in time for Passover, comes a doozy: After six years of steady conservative antisemitic insinuations, conspiracy theories and the inevitable violence those narratives can inspire, it's Democrats who are the real antisemites.
On Monday, one of the Republican Party's social media accounts, @RNCResearch (dedicated to "Exposing the lies, hypocrisy, and failed far-left policies of Joe Biden and the Democratic Party"), tweeted a brief clip of Biden in the Rose Garden introducing his nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Steve Dettelbach. In the clips, Biden makes the daddest of Dad jokes: that Dettelbach, a former DOJ prosecutor, "was responsible for" the fine weather that day. "Dettelbach is Jewish," commented @RNCResearch, in what was apparently meant as a gotcha.
