From Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano's "Government Official" FB page:
Did you hear it?
Here. I'll turn up the volume:
globalistAnd when a Christian Nationalist like Doug Mastriano talks about a member of the Soros family as a "renown globalist" the anti-Semitic dog whistle should be clear.
From the American Jewish Committee:
Today, globalist is a coded word for Jews who are seen as international elites conspiring to weaken or dismantle “Western” society using their international connections and control over big corporations (see New World Order)—all echoing the destructive theory that Jews hold greed and tribe above country.
Both Governor Shapiro and Alex Soros (son of George Soros) are Jewish.
From The Atlantic:
After National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn announced his resignation last week, President Trump offered a back-handed compliment to his departing adviser: “He may be a globalist, but I still like him.” Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, chimed in with his own statement: “I never expected that the co-worker I would work closest, and best, with at the White House would be a ‘globalist.’”
Despite the seemingly joking use of the term “globalist” by Trump and Mulvaney, many were quick to point to the word’s unseemly past as an anti-Semitic slur, embraced in alt-right circles before spreading into broader political discourse. As the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt put it, “Where the term originates from is a reference to Jewish people who are seen as having allegiances not to their countries of origin like the United States, but to some global conspiracy.” Greenblatt said it’s “disturbing” when public officials “literally parrot this term which is rooted in prejudice.”
Let me say it again: Both Governor Shapiro and Alex Soros (son of George Soros) are Jewish.
And this is not the first time for Mastriano. From The New York Times:
But a late September campaign finance report showed that Mr. Mastriano had accepted a $500 donation from Mr. Torba in July. His campaign did not respond when asked whether he planned to return the money, and he and his aides ignored a reporter’s shouted questions about the donation during an event on a recent Friday.
Mr. Mastriano has also spread the lie that George Soros, a Holocaust survivor and liberal billionaire often vilified on the right, was a Nazi collaborator.
It was only 10 days ago when Sen Mastriano was giving a press conference outlining Holocaust Education legislation - SB1100.
And yet a week and a half later he's dog whistling a wealthy Jewish man as a "globalist."
