The winner is Representative Keith Ellison. Maybe not for the reason you think. Keith won the award for the following tweets:
One who doesn't know Keith's past history probably would think those tweets were nice and supportive, not hypocritical. As Paul Harvey would say, "Now for the rest of the story."
Prior to his election to the House of Representatives, Ellison had defended Farrakhan’s controversial comments, which often strayed into black supremacy, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry.
In 2009, Ellison endorsed the United Nation’s Goldstone report, which accused Israel of war crimes during the 2008-2009 Gaza conflict. Five years later, Ellison was one of only eight House members to oppose aid for the Iron Dome missile protection system Israel developed in response to Hamas rocket attacks.
In an audio recording publicized by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Ellison can be heard accusing Israel, through elements of the American Jewish community, of dominating the United States.
“The United States foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people,” Ellison is heard saying in the recording. “A region of 350 million all turns on a country of 7 million. Does that make sense? Is that logic? Right? When the Americans who trace their roots back to those 350 million get involved, everything changes. Can I say that again?”
This was recorded in 2010. Keith Ellison has a storied past of Anti-Israel comments. All one has to do is google him. Keith, if you have a proven history of being Anti-Israel and Anti-Jew, then post tweets like those above, you might be a Hypocrite!
