Hawley wrote: “Patrick Henry: ‘It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.’” The problem? Henry never said that. The quote is false. Made up.

How is it "anti-Semitic?"

Oh, you're just lying to slander the enemy of your Reich, never mind.

Also, whining about quotes that are fake, from a Bidenista? ROFL

Instead — as Hawley’s readers pointed out in a fact-checking Community Note appended to his tweet — the line is from a 1956 piece in a magazine, The Virginian, that was about Patrick Henry. Not by him. It appeared in another magazine, The American Mercury, as a Henry quote later that year and apparently took off from there. The kicker? As historian Seth Cotlar of Willamette University pointed out, The Virginian was “virulently antisemitic (and) white nationalist magazine.” The American Mercury, for that matter, was also an “antisemitic rag.”

Anybody can be fooled by a false quote online, though. But we’re noticing a pattern. It’s only been a couple of weeks since Hawley decided to celebrate Juneteenth with a distorted history of slavery. “Today is a good day to remember: Christianity is the faith and America is the place slavery came to die,” Hawley wrote on Twitter. We’ve already written about why that statement was so wrongheaded. And we find it remarkable that Hawley, an honors history major at Stanford University, keeps getting this wrong. It’s sloppy work by the senator.

So a "6 levels of separation smear."

Nothing in the quote was at all Anti-Semitic, but Hawley is an enemy of your Reich, so you slander and libel him.

And again, you are a foot soldier for the KING of fake quotes, Xi's man Joe.
 
Missouri newspaper condemns Josh Hawley for posting fake quote

The first incident came on Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of all enslaved people in the US. Hawley marked the day by commenting online that “Christianity is the faith and America is the place slavery came to die”.

Wrong, thundered the Star’s editorial board. Noting that Hawley has opposed the movement to rename US military bases named after Confederate leaders, it said that “slavery flourished here for more than two centuries. It is no exaggeration to say that America’s economic might was built on a foundation of enslaved labor.”

That the Star had to give Hawley an elementary lesson in US history is in itself surprising given that the senator was a history major at the elite Stanford University. “The senator wasn’t just factually wrong, he was offensive,” the board concluded.
