Dear Republican Party: Leave the Jewish People Alone and Make “Sincere” Apologies

When, when, when, when is the Republican National Committee going to change their platform?

Where is RNC Chairman Reince Preibus?

When will we see leadership and a positive shift take place in the name of “sincerity?”

Republican lawmakers are making xenophobic comments and it is reaching a fevered pitch against women, immigrants, people of color and so forth.

A Jewish friend of mine via Lou Show says this about Dennis Johnson — the Oklahoma GOP lawmaker who made the “Jew Me Down” comment:

“Incredibly stupid. I think he’ll have to count out any Jewish customers in the future.”

“I would NOT accept his off-handed apology.”

Dennis Johnson, Oklahoma GOP Lawmaker, Apologizes To ‘The Jews’ For ‘Jew Me Down’ Comment

Oklahoma state Rep. Dennis Johnson (R-Duncan) apologized Wednesday for recently using the phrase “Jew me down.”

While speaking on the virtues of small business in debate over a bill Wednesday, he said, “They might try to Jew me down on a price. That’s fine … that’s free market as well.” He was then handed a note about fifteen seconds later.

“Did I?” he said to a colleague.

“I apologize to the Jews,” he said to laughs. “They’re good small businessmen as well.”

Johnson expanded on his apology to The Oklahoman. “It just came out of one of the wrinkles of my brain and it was not something that was intentional,” Johnson said. “I certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone and I apologize for the folks I did offend. It is a comment that should never be made. I will never do it again.”

Johnson was not the first lawmaker to have to apologize for using the phrase, an offensive term for haggling. Texas state Rep. Larry Taylor (R- Friendswood) apologized in 2011 for urging an insurance association to treat policyholders well and not try to “Jew them down.”  FULL STORY>>>
