Another Democratic Party Official Normalizes Nazism

After all, Michigan's leading candidate for the Democratic Senate primary is a massive antisemite, and his campaign is centered around his opposition to support for Israel. 

The Free Beacon and others reported in January about Neumann’s bizarre Facebook post praising her “Grandfather, Albert Neumann,” who she said was “on the German side in WWI & WWII” and “escaped to Brazil … after Germany lost.”

Even before the Democrats started rallying around Nazis running for office, Democratic fundraiser Kelly Neumann, the co-chairwoman of Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow’s campaign, posted on Veterans' Day about her grandfather's service in the Nazi army during World War II. She even noted that he escaped to Brazil after the war, then made his way to America and became a super sweet guy. 

The Washington Free Beacon reported on the bizarre Facebook post, which included a number of photos of her grandfather in German military uniforms. She is now suing the Free  Beacon, claiming that writing about her public post on Facebook was defamatory.

I don't care about the lawsuit, which is clearly frivolous and stupid, since it brings this all up again, as the Michigan Democratic Primary approaches. If I were Mallory McMorrow, I wouldn't want my co-chair resurfacing her admiration for her Nazi grandfather while she is campaigning against Donald Trump being a Nazi. 

SICK

Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow compares the Trump administration to Nazi Germany:

It might lead one to wonder just what the Democrats think of Nazis once again. After all, antisemitism is rampant in the party, they are promoting massive attacks on our Constitutional order, and they are embracing Mr. Nazi Tattoo himself, Graham Platner. 

Now McMorrow's campaign co-chair has waxed poetic about her lovely Nazi grandfather, complete with pictures of him in uniform. 

Neumann has been flitting around since the flap over her post raising money for McMorrow and taking photographs with just about every high-level Democrat in the country, just as all those same Democrats are rushing to embrace Graham Platner. 

Democrats have spent years calling Republicans, and especially Donald Trump, Nazis, and now it turns out that a growing number of them seem to be pretty darn fine with Nazi associations. 

Ironically, Democrats took the sting out of the word by using it as a generic criticism, and now it has become so vacant that even actual Nazis don't even bother Democrats themselves. They see reaching out to rabid antisemites as a smart political move. 

The Free Beacon features a dozen photos of Neumann with the most prominent Democrats in the country that have been taken since her celebration of her Nazi grandfather. My favorite is the one with Joe Biden, who gave ranting speeches that looked straight out of Triumph of the Will about how evil and authoritarian Republicans are.

Is Neumann a Nazi? I would sincerely doubt it. Should she not love her grandfather just because he served in the German army during World War II? That's absurd. We have no indication that he was a concentration camp guard, and millions of ordinary Germans were drafted into the war due to their being born on German territory. 

OTOH, she brings it up. On Veterans' Day. Emphasizing his service in the German Army under Hitler. 

Posting a photo of your grandfather in a Nazi uniform on Veterans' Day, talking about his escape to Brazil (hmmm...), and how his service is the same as those of Americans in World War II is a very bad look. She brought up the Nazi question. 

McMorrow is running against Abdul El-Sayid, who is a blatant antisemite. If I were less generous than I am, this would seem a sly indication to the Democratic antisemites who back him that McMorrow is similarly anti-Jew. 

But I am not quite that cynical. Instead, I believe that it never occurred to her that celebrating a Nazi on Veterans' Day would raise a stink, and inside her party, it appears not to have. Democratic Party bigwigs still pose for photos, and she still is a prominent fundraiser for them. 

Pete Hegseth was said to be unemployable because he wore a 'Deus Vult' tattoo. Being faithful to God was seen as out of bounds to Democrats. 

The same, apparently, is not true for actual celebrations of Nazis, whether soldiers or the SS itself.
