Gary from Saint Paul emails:
Has anyone in the Twin Cites media asked him if he’s going to Netanyahu’ s speech?
Just thinking.
I’d be interested in finding out.
Side-bet: I’ll bet if he skips it, the Twin Cities media will bury that fact, if they report it at all.
If they report on it, they will laud it as a stand for principle and call it “courageous.” They won’t describe it as bigotry or “jewphobia”.
Its sad what has happened to John Lewis. Here is the hero of the 50s-60s civil rights movement. The man who stood up to the fire hoses in Selma and elsewhere, has been reduced to a leftwing conspiracy theory wacko. And yes, he is boycotting the speach by the leader of the Jewish state.
