Fox News Analyst Recently Said "Rootless Cosmopolitans"--(.. Jews)--Are the Cause of America's Problem

Fox News Analyst Recently Said “Rootless Cosmopolitans”—Also Known as Jews—Are the Cause of America’s Problems

"SNIP......

Wednesday’s is a good* one! (*Bad. A bad one.) It was flagged by Matt Gertz of the left-leaning Media Matters watchdog group in a new post about retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, a regular guest on Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham’s prime-time Fox News shows. (He has appeared on Fox eight times this year, according to a Nexis transcript search.) Macgregor’s spots typically cover military subjects, and he recently made headlines for having argued that Russia should be allowed to annex Ukraine without repercussions. (His reasoning was that Ukraine’s people are “indistinguishable” from Russia’s.)

As Gertz shows, Macgregor has also shared his beliefs about what Muslim, South Asian, and Latin American immigrants have done to “Americans” in a variety of radio and event appearances. At a Serbian American Voters Alliance meeting in Florida in October 2021, he laid out a theory of domestic U.S. politics built around his distaste for the changes that South Asian immigrants have made to the Philadelphia neighborhood where he grew up. (Macgregor says that one such individual told him that it didn’t matter if the U.S. economy crashed because “I’m going to go back to India.”) He also thinks that there is a higher-level group orchestrating this—a cabal pulling the strings, if you will. From Media Matters:

“I remembered Philadelphia in the 1960s, then I heard this and something dawned on me,” Macgregor said. “This is a microcosm of everything that’s wrong now in the United States, because we have a huge problem with a class of so-called elites, the people who are wealthy, very wealthy in many cases and they are, as the Russians used to call certain individuals many, many years ago, rootless cosmopolitans.”

Added Macgregor: “They live above all of this, they have no connection to the country. There is nothing there that holds them in place, and they are largely responsible, in my judgment, for the condition that we are in today. That group more than anything else is what we’re up against, and the other things that you see, whether it’s BLM or antifa—those are just foot soldiers, they are being deployed to attack us.”

Not enough diversity in Hollywood? Blame the Jews!

Too much diversity in Hollywood? Blame the Jews!

Too much capitalism? Blame the Jews!

Not capitalistic enough? Blame the Jews!

Too many immigrants? Blame the Jews!

Racial discord? Blame the Jews!

Attempts at racial harmony? Blame the Jews!

War? Blame the Jews!

Wrong type of war? Blame the Jews!

Pornography? Blame the Jews!

Socialism? Blame the Jews! (unless you are socialist, then the "Jew" capitalists are you're enemy.)

Situation in Ukraine? Blame the Jews!

Failure to report on other wars 24/7? Blame the Jews!

Feminism? Blame the Jews!

BLM or antifa? Blame the Jews!

Dirty cops? Blame the Jews!

I could continue for awhile or even go back and point out documentation for the above, but I have to do my Dutch lesson for the day, so...Blame this Jew for not being sufficiently thorough.

It doesn't matter the situation, the sex, gender, racial make-up, ethnicity, political affiliation, there are always those who are ready and on-point to blame the Jews! Even in situations where one side is actively blaming Jews, the other side will claim the Jews are their problem as well!
