Democrats worked hard three years ago to keep Pennsylvania state Supreme Court Judge David Wecht in office. They have worked even harder to alienate him ever since.
In a statement last night, Wecht announced that he would cease to identify as a Democrat. Graham Platner turned out to be one Totenkopf over the line, but Wecht's disillusionment with his former party goes well beyond the Left's 'good Nazi.' Far from being anomalous, Wecht argued that their embrace of "Jew-hatred" has made it a mainstream attribute in the Democrat Party:
...
Wecht doesn't sugar-coat his exit either. Rather than offer a soft approach with an ambiguous reference to 'shiffing values' as a reason, Wecht accuses his former party of deliberately embracing "Jew-hatred" and mainstreaming it:
"In 1998, my wife and I were married at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Congregation, on whose Board of Trustees I served. Twenty years later, in the very same sanctuary where our wedding occurred, the worst massacre of Jews in American history was perpetrated. That terror came from the right. Jew-hatred has always festered on the fringe of that sector.
"In the years that have followed, that same hatred has grown on the left. Increasingly, it has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. It is the duty of all good people to fight this virus, and to do so before it is too late . ...
"From 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career, I served as Vice-Chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed. Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.
"I can no longer abide this. So, I won’t. I am no longer registered within any political party.
WRT his comment that mass-killer Robert Bowers "came from the right", it would have been more accurate to say that Bower came from
the cesspool at the end of "right-wing" that is as rejected by the mainstream "right" as it is by the "left". An example of the "right" rejecting those cesspoolians would be Trump's visit to Tree of Life.
IMO,
the "left" very obviously has its own correspondingly crazed cesspool, but has embraced many of those cesspoolians, and that embrace is the cause of Wecht's move.
