'It's Time We Once Again Took Out the Trash': Scott Jennings on the Attempt to Hijack Conservative Institutionshttps://freebeacon.com/media/its-time-we-once-again-took-out-the-trash-scott-jennings-on-the-attempt-to-hijack-conservative-institutions/Jennings was in Israel when the war with Iran began and watched the Iron Dome intercept Iranian missiles. "The resolve of the Israeli people to defeat once and for all the head of the terror octopus—Iran—is something I’ll never forget," he said.
Jennings continued: "And that’s why I need to speak out today, plainly and with no reservation, to condemn—in no uncertain terms—the attempts by some to hijack the conservative cause and even storied conservative organizations for their vile purposes.
"I am baffled and frankly shocked at the attempts by some on the right to side against the Jews after October 7 and to blame the Jews for every bad thing that has happened in our country since," Jennings said. "When tragic acts of terrorism and murder have occurred on our own soil—even the murder of Charlie Kirk—we have heard some voices on the right rush to insert the latest Jewish conspiracy theory to explain it.
"For our leaders, let me make a suggestion: do not *****foot around this," he continued. "Do not play footsie with it. Do not look the other way. Do not fear losing the support of a hateful band of brain-addled anti-Semites. You don’t want them anyway.
"What good is our movement if we can’t act any better than the radical left, which refuses to purge itself of the same kind of hate? This nation led the free world against the forces of darkness not that long ago, relegating the ideology of anti-Semitism to the dustbin of history. I humbly submit to all conservatives: it’s time we once again took out the trash."
Even a big tent still needs to have standards.
