Trump is too polarizing, says a Democratic Congressman who compared Jews to “termites”

The Left lives by a totally different standard than the one they use to judge others. Case in point:  Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson who declared Donald Trump unfit for the presidency because he was too polarizing. That’s funny because just this year, the congressman said Jews are “like termites.”

In July, Johnson criticized Israel’s policies towards Palestine at an anti-Israel occupation event where he compared the Jewish people to termites ruining a home:

“There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you’ve been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming.”

This month, Johnson chided Trump for stoking and parlaying the Obama birther issue and for stoking “the fires of polarization.” A classic example of the pot calling the kettle black. As The Federalist noted, the Anti-Defamation League said Johnson’s anti-Semitic comment was “an offensive and unhelpful characterization.”

“Demonization, dehumanization of settlers doesn’t advance peace,” the ADL added.

This isn’t just an “unhelpful characterization,” but a dangerous one. Rabbi David Wolpe reminds why in a response he wrote for TIME magazine:

These are not trivial issues. We are a half century away from millions of human beings who were designated as “vermin” and killed. When people say the Nazis “exterminated” Jews they unwittingly appropriate this insect metaphor. To call Jews “termites” is base and vile.

Wolpe also condemned Jonson’s non-apology; one in which he blew through saying, “poor choice of words — apologies for offense.” Yes, that ought to do it!

But there is solace in this story. Johnson isn’t exactly thought of too highly by his congressional peers. He’s made the Washingtonian’s “Best and Worst of Congress” list, voted “Worst Speaker” and “Most Clueless.”

Here’s HOW clueless: Johnson once told a military commander that he was concerned the entire island of Guam would tip over if too many people were standing on it.

“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” he said.

You can’t make this stuff up.
