Supporters who looked past the former president’s admirers in bigoted corners of the far right, and his own use of antisemitic tropes, now are drawing a line. “He legitimizes Jew hatred and Jew haters,” says one. “And this scares me.”
Not all Republican leaders have spoken out, but Jewish Republicans are slowly peeling away from a former president who, for years, insisted he had no ties to the bigoted far right, but refused to repudiate it. Jewish figures and organizations that have stood by Mr. Trump, from Mr. Klein’s group to the pro-Trump commentator Ben Shapiro to Mr. Trump’s own former ambassador to Israel and onetime bankruptcy lawyer, David M. Friedman, have all spoken out since the dinner.
For Jews, the concern extends far beyond a single meal at Mar-a-Lago, though that dinner has become a touchstone, especially for Jewish Republicans.

You will be taught to OBEY......OR ELSE!
In revolutions such as this the "OR ELSE!" often includes the elimination of those who are causing the disturbance in the solidarity.
For American Jewry, the debate since the dinner has brought into focus what may be the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more.
“The normalization of antisemitism is here,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League.
And House Republican leaders say they will reinstate Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, and Paul Gosar, Republican of Arizona, to committees from which they were jettisoned by Democrats in part for their antisemitic comments or associating with white supremacists like Mr. Fuentes.
“The level of antisemitism being expressed, antisemitic acts at a very elevated level, and the acceptability of antisemitism — it is all creating an environment which is, thank God, unusual for the United States, and it has to be nipped in the bud.

The Democratic party is full of anti-Semites, the Squad being the most obvious examples.
Anti-Semitism has a history in the Democratic Party
Wonder if they wish they could explain away their past as a problem with words.

First, two wrongs don't make a right.
Second, I don't equate junior House Representatives with POTUS. They only speak for their district. POTUS speaks for the entire United States. Equating them is as stupid as those who equate Greta Thunberg with POTUS and other world leaders.
Lastly, bigotry is wrong. It's also inefficient since, to make a better USA, the nation needs everyone operating at their best.
Jewish Allies Call Trump’s Dinner With Antisemites a Breaking Point
No such thing.
Why Trump? Because Fuck You that's why.
