Josh Shapiro Faces Antisemitism Over Jewish Faith and Pro-Israel Stance After VP Snub
Aug 6, 2024, 01:32 PM
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has faced significant backlash and accusations of antisemitism following his failure to secure the Vice Presidential nomination from the Democratic Party. Despite being considered a strong candidate, Shapiro's Jewish faith and pro-Israel stance were cited by many as the reasons for his exclusion. Various commentators, including those from Breitbart News, have highlighted Shapiro's long-standing support for Israel, which he has recently been disavowing. Critics argue that his Jewish identity and support for Israel made him an unsuitable choice for the Democratic Party's radical left-wing base. Shapiro's public attempts to distance himself from his faith and his connection to Israel were seen as futile, as he was ultimately not selected for the VP position. He was hounded by an antisemitic mob and disqualified him due to his Jewish identity, which was seen as baggage by some.
