Did you hear that, just now? That was the sound of a Rubicon being crossed. The leading blights of the MAGA gang just decided to give away the game. For months, if not years, they have flirted with outright antisemitism. But tonight they took the plunge. There is no going back now. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the quiet part out loud. Tonight, she publicly denounced the House's new bill to combat antisemitism—because, she said, it would get in the way of peddling the medieval canard that the Jews killed Jesus.
Immediately afterward, the rest of the MAGA right followed suit. All the big names jumped in to declare their own support for the myth of Christ-killing. Matt Gaetz backed Greene's core claim that the Gospels tell a story of Jews killing Jesus (never mind that the historical Jesus was a Jewish prophet who would be appalled by the posthumous cult that worships him as a god; that's an argument for another day). Charlie Kirk leapt in to back him up. So did Tucker Carlson. It's all there in the New York Times piece. You can just imagine the spectacle.
