Just three days after the worst example of overt anti-Semitic violence in this country’s history left 11 Jewish worshipers dead, and several more (and LEOs) wounded at a Pittsburgh synagogue, shocking the city, and the nation — our Vice President, at a “campaign” rally in Michigan, apparently thought it would be a good idea to have a rabbi say a few words of prayer.
The thing is, he seems not to have been able to find a real — y’know — a Jewish rabbi, but instead brought in one Rabbi Loren Jacobs — a “Messianic” rabbi, whose particular denomination of Judaism seems to actually be, well, Christianity.
I will leave it to other to elaborate on this: myself, “tone-deaf” is not only the least excuse, but perhaps the only one for this sort of gaffe. Not that I’m sure “Rabbi” Jacobs’ prayers aren’t sincere, nor would I put it past any national Republican to miss the whole point of memorializing Jewish victims of ethnic slaughter in favor of bit of cheap proselytizing, but SRSLY?
Does NO ONE even bother to provide these clowns with a smidgen of a clue????
