The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called "terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money." Yon was speaking at a "Take Back Our Border" convoy in Texas.

In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.

How does a group "descend" to a position they never left. That's like saying these conservative shitstains "descended" into racism and xenophobia. They are conservatives FFS!

I think it's funny how the starting point was they're christian nationalist secessionist traitors but OP's red line is anti-semitism.

It's pretty common to see in the Jewish culture. They generally really don't give a shit about anything outside their bubble but when something happens to them they demand they world drops everything to help them or otherwise you're a piece of shit.

I see where you're coming from, but in the case of right wing conspiracy theories, "the Joos are secretly controlling the world!" is a common topic of conversation.

Yeah, not saying that isn't true. These conspiracy kooks are wild. I just grew up in a Jewish community, so being force fed propaganda from the time I was a child got kind of exhausting. Especially when I got older and started to see through it so I think I have more of an averse reaction to it than most people would.
