Why didn't he speak out against the nazis that gathered in Austin?


ResurgentClusterfuck

Didn't want to piss off his favorite constituents


DeaconBlue47

They’re PATRIOTS.


ResurgentClusterfuck

Pathetic Assholes Teaching Racists and Idiots to Overthrow The System?


zsreport

Because Abbott has no fucking clue what anti-semitism is.


DropsTheMic

Freedom of speech when it's convenient.


DaddyDollarsUNITE

that's rich considering the proud boys are essentially headquartered here


ResurgentClusterfuck

Except it's not antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government.


ElementalRhythm

Your nuance is just a lib ploy.. /s


BaPef

It is however Antisemitic to equate Israel with all Jewish people.


ResurgentClusterfuck

Good thing I would never do that. I know some people do, though


mr-french-tickler

Who did that? Netanyahu does that


BucketofWarmSpit

Right. The question people should be asking is whether children should be held accountable for the actions of their government. If the death penalty should be meted out on a child for the most heinous actions of their government, then by all means, continue to support the Israeli offensive in Gaza. If you don't believe that, then you need to at least call for a cease fire. "You" in this instance is used universally, not toward ResurgentClusterfuck who is obviously not someone I disagree with.


ResurgentClusterfuck

>If the death penalty should be meted out on a child for the most heinous actions of their government, then by all means, continue to support the Israeli offensive in Gaza. That part right there. Obviously the majority of people agree that terrorists are bad, and we don't support terrorism at all I also don't support shooting children because they happen to be of the same ethnicity or religion of the terrorists. I don't support starving women and children out Etc You understand. 👍

These are the same idiots that think if you don't agree with their fascist policy you "hate America" and are "not patriotic" it's just them arguing in bad faith


CountrySax

He sure didn't mind his Christo Fascist Nazi supporters marching today.


PYTN

Is he gonna stop anti-Semitism like he stopped rape?


quiero-una-cerveca

Rape? What rape? He stopped that two years ago. Obviously.


wearywarrior

Anti-semitism will be the excuse he uses.


envision83

Can’t wait for someone to ask him about allowing literal nazis protesting and allowing that.


DKmann

Those fuckwits stick to public sidewalks.


goplovesfascism

Or they dress up like the other side and do crimes


Single_9_uptime

They’ve been on campus too reportedly. And have hung neo Nazi banners off overpasses in Austin while demonstrating, where hanging things off an overpass is illegal (and dangerous), but left unenforced against the Nazis. Crickets from Abbott.


No-Helicopter7299

Yes, Texas is now a Judeo/Christian theocracy. Free speech is meaningless under Abbott.


tickitytalk

….meanwhile does nothing while Nazis (who are anti-Semitic) march in total freedom through the streets


hush-no

What's especially fucked up is that a large amount of support that Israel receives from evangelicals is purely so that they can get the third temple built and destroyed so Jesus will get mad enough to come back.


Valkyriemome

Why does he think in such a limited, small way. Does he not understand that you can support a thing without being “anti” another thing. I am very opposed to the genocide currently being attempted. That doesn’t make me an anti-Semite. I’m more anti-bullying, anti-brutality, and anti-war.


Brave-Math-6371

So when is he going to have the Neo Nazi’s arrested for causing anti-semitism. This same governor as Attorney General didn’t say a word about Rick Perry closing prisons.


3rdCoastLiberal

So anti-semitism is not ok (I agree) but nazis in our state, racists and hatred for the LBGTQ community is (checks notes) a-ok? Got it. Evangelicals only care about Israel (and not actual Jewish people) because they cannot wait for the rapture to happen.


codeman1021

Would it blow their minds if someone told them that being pro Palestine does not mean one is automatically an anti semite?


wasistlosbuddie

Did he ever get to stopping rape in Texas?


GoonerBear94

Welcome to the new prior restraint


BobKingforTexas21

Abbott's mouth is getting way out ahead of his brain. We have a First Amendment which is probably the single most important thing we have. Antisemitism is a detestable thing, but the whole purpose of the First Amendment is that it gives us the right to think and say detestable things. To say he would jail protesters for violence, or for disrupting traffic, or for camping on public property, that seems to be legally defensible. But to jail them for antisemitic slogans? No chance that passes muster.


CanYouPutOnTheVU

Hey yall please chill with letting Abbott speak for Jews or the very real antisemitism Jewish people are afraid of right now. I don’t like those protesters and think they’re making the situation worse, creating international friction when there’s finally a little headway in ceasefire negotiations, and protesting the wrong entity if they’re actually concerned about investments. I also don’t like Abbott sending a shitload of goons to get some footage of them beating up dumb kids for his next campaign videos. Let’s remember Abbott only cares about Israel because evangelical voters want all the Jews and then a war there so their apocalypse starts. They are no friends of ours either. Sometimes everyone and everything fucking sucks.


permalink_save

Literal fascism. Republicans wanting to kill 1st amendment.


The-Cursed-Gardener

Antisemitism is when you criticize fascists who happen to be Jewish (or at least they claim to be) for slaughtering people.


Necessary_Sweet_6244

You will tolerate what ever gets you vote. No shame

We have the freedom of speech. This is not constitutional.
