Maybe you’ve seen it. (He says with tongue in cheek.)

“It” could be the meltdown from Democratic “Squad” Home Members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota as a result of Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy had eliminated Omar from the Home International Affairs Committee. Eliminated her due to her blatant and repeated anti-Semitism. 

Right here’s a pattern headline from The Hill: ‘Squad’ members rail towards Omar’s removing: ‘That is about concentrating on girls of coloration’

The story stories this: 

“Members of the ‘squad’ of progressive Home lawmakers on Thursday railed towards Home Republicans for voting to take away one in every of their very own, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), from the Home International Affairs Committee, arguing the transfer was motivated by GOP bias towards girls of coloration in Congress. 

… ‘There may be nothing in line with the Republican Occasion’s continued assault, apart from the racism and incitement of violence towards girls of coloration on this physique,’ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) stated in fiery remarks that prompted applause from Democrats.

‘That is about concentrating on girls of coloration in america of America.’

…Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) known as the decision to oust Omar from the International Affairs panel ‘offensive’ and ‘only a bunch of racist gaslighting.’” 

Properly after all.

What was distinctly notable was what the media didn’t say in all of this dust-up. Like, say, historical past.

There’s a motive The Squad members performed the race card right here. That motive, not that you’d comprehend it from the media, is that race is what the Left has at all times been about. It’s the Left’s go-to, and has been, on this occasion, proper from the formation of the Democrat Occasion.

Recall:

*The Democrat Occasion was co-founded, in response to historians, by slaveowners Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Actually, the primary seven Democrat presidents serving between 1800 and 1861 owned slaves.

*The social gathering started the apply of writing a quadrennial platform in 1840, and each presidential election 12 months afterwards. The primary six of those -from 1840 to 1860 – particularly supported slavery.

• Democrats in Congress opposed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Structure. They successively abolished slavery, gave blacks due course of rights and the Fifteenth gave the best to vote.
• With slavery abolished the Democrats set about about opposing the Republican sponsored and handed Civil Rights Act of 1866 – offering blacks with the best to personal property- and the Civil Rights Act of 1875, the latter prohibiting racial discrimination.
• After all, it was Democrats who set about establishing the “Jim Crow” legal guidelines that created segregation.
• And historians have properly documented that the Ku Klux Klan, in response to historian Eric Foner of Columbia College, was “a navy pressure serving the pursuits of the Democratic Occasion”. College of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease described the Klan because the “terrorist arm of the Democratic Occasion.”

There’s extra of this…oh a lot extra. However the backside line is that as created and because it has advanced the Democrat Occasion of as we speak exists in a tradition of race and racism. Every thing is about race.

Which might simply clarify why this newest episode with The Squad has occurred within the first place. Congresswoman Omar will not be considered by The Squad as what, the truth is, she is: an American. And a Member of Congress. Neither of which phrases have any relationship to pores and skin coloration. No. The Squad calls for that she be judged on her pores and skin coloration.

So the apparent query: The place is the media on the subject of mentioning the historical past of The Squad’s political social gathering of selection? The place is the media to elucidate that AOC’s taking part in the race card is, the truth is, fully consistent with the political tradition of AOC’s Occasion of Race?

And by way of Omar’s anti-Semitism, the irony is that this enterprise of distinguished Democrats hanging ten with anti-Semitism is the truth is comparatively new.

The media must be offering context right here. It might do properly to elucidate that when the State of Israel proclaimed itself a Jewish state in Might of 1948, Democrat Harry S. Truman was President of america. And Truman wrote this in his memoirs, “Now that the Jews have been able to proclaim the State of Israel…I made a decision to maneuver without delay and provides American recognition to the brand new nation.”

Truman did simply that. And when he was re-nominated for president, the Democrat platform of 1948 particularly stated this: 

President Truman, by granting rapid recognition to Israel, led the world in extending friendship and welcome to a individuals who have lengthy sought and justly deserve freedom and independence.

We pledge full recognition to the State of Israel. We affirm our satisfaction that america below the management of President Truman performed a number one position within the adoption of the decision of November 29, 1947, by the United Nations Common Meeting for the creation of a Jewish State.

Which is to say, proper from the get-go Truman put the Democrats on the file within the strongest potential phrases as supporting Israel and the Jews.

It’s a good distance from Harry Truman to Ilhan Omar and The Squad. The place is the liberal media on the subject of educating Individuals that the Democratic Occasion of staunch assist for Jews and the Jewish state has now dissolved right into a sewer of anti-Semitism? 

The laborious reality right here is that the mainstream media is giving a go to The Squad and its tradition of racism, a tradition that’s the historical past of its Occasion of Race. 

To not point out that there isn’t a try within the media to elucidate the descent of the Democrats from staunch assist of Jews and Israel to the sewer of the venomous  anti-Semitism spewing from The Squad.

Unhappy.

To not point out harmful.
