A lot of time has passed since there was even a controversy over Jeremiah Wright’s hateful “God Damn America” rant. Obama survived the controversy by doubling down. And the Democrats have at least one Senate member who’s a Wright fanboy.
A newly-resurfaced video shows Rev. Raphael Warnock defending Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s controversial “God Damn America” sermon, arguing that it was “Christian preaching at its best.”
You know how that worked out.
Now Alana Goodman at the Free Beacon turned up Mandela Barnes, currently running for the Wisconsin Senate, doing much the same thing. Alana does old-fashioned investigative reporting and Wisconsin isn’t Georgia. But I’m not sure how much of a difference this will make.
Mandela Barnes, the Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate, praised anti-Semitic pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright as “brilliant” after attending a speech in which the controversial preacher accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and the United States of committing “war crimes.”
Barnes posted an Instagram photo of himself shaking hands with Wright at a small group dinner in Milwaukee in 2013. “What’s for certain is that the man is brilliant. It was amazing to hear Dr. Jeremiah Wright speak this evening,” Barnes, who was then serving as a state representative, wrote in the caption.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, an anti-Semitism watchdog group, said Barnes’s embrace of Wright was concerning and part of a larger pattern of political candidates condoning hate speech.
“Rev. Wright has been explicit about his hateful views,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, director of global social action for the Simon Wiesenthal Center. “Anyone running for such an important office should denounce this hatred, especially when anti-Semitic hate crimes continue to plague the country.”

Breaking news: non-Whites aern’t held accountable for their actions. It’s why Obongo suffered zero pushback from the US media when he was pictured with black supremacist Louis Farrakhan.

Time to hold “Big O” and “Little B” responsible for their actions. Throw “Slick Willy & Hilly” in there to.
World@70 says
BTW wasn’t Jeremiah a Hebrew profit and author of the Book of Kings?
Paul Walker says
Not Christian preaching! Black Liberation preaching at its worst!
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah and even that was plagiarized from commie liberation theory. Neither of them liberate their adherents and neither are real theories, though.Quite the opposite.

Those who preach, “hate,” in the name of God are not servants of the God of the universe, they are servants of the devil.
Biden called himself a “moderate,” nearly all those democrats running for office today also call themselves, “moderate,” those who vote democrat in today’s world are voting for, MORE, of biden, imagine there being more of biden, and the democrat policies of, “hate America.”

And a self confessed terrorist.

The smart white South Africans had already gotten out 20 years ago or so. I knew some, so long ago now I can’t remember exactly when they got out.
Jeff Bargholz says
That goes double for white Zimbabweans.

Mandela Barnes is a black racist who hates whitey and he represents a congressional district located entirely in Milwaukee County? Shocker. David Clarke he ain’t. I wonder if he has a criminal record?

Mandela Barnes is an Obama clone. Obama was obviously anti-Semitic. He was selected by the Democrats to repeat the Obama formula: Lighter skin, big, fake smile, and support from the evil core of Chicago politics. We’ll see if any gay friends of Mandela turn up dead in Wisconsin like three of Obama’s gay friends from Wright’s fake Christian church did, but, regardless, ,Barnes is definitely a creature of the Madison-Milwaukee-Chicago. triad. He fits their racial/ideological formula of light-skinned racially mixed radical racist candidates who pretend they like white people but aren’t afraid to attack Jews. Don’t forget, Louis Farrakhan has a lot of power in Chicago and it is growing in Wisconsin..
Mandela has laid very low as a Lt. Governor. He has stayed away from controversy as much possible but his big mouth during the Kenosha riots is costing him in the polls now. Law and Order should be the issue that sinks him. Even though Wisconsin’s polls always favor Democrats they only have him down one point behind Senator Johnson, past rigging suggests that he is likely down 5 to 7 points. Unfortunately, with all of the Chicago drug gang thugs operating in Wisconsin’s cities, the Democratic Party has plenty of opportunity for election fraud.
