Ohio state representative calls state's Jewish Department of Health director a 'globalist'

An Ohio state representative drew criticism for calling the state’s Jewish Department of Health director a “globalist.”

In a Facebook post on Friday, Rep. Nino Vitale said the director, Amy Acton, was denying state residents their human rights by extending a stay-at-home order until May 29.

“Your basic human rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness do not come from an unelected Globalist Health Director, who signed the order in the dark of night. Your basic human rights are inalienable and cannot be bought, sold, traded or taken from you,” Vitale wrote in a post on Facebook on Friday and in a letter to supporters.

Vitale’s Facebook page has since become unavailable, but in a note on his campaign website Vitale said “it appears web search engines and web relays are currently banning my Facebook page.”

Nice when people start to recognize dog-whistles used against Jews.

This stuff is happening a lot. "Arbeit macht frei" signs protesting a governor of Jewish ancestry. (I don't know whether he's observing or not, but for sure his family is)
This.
There are more, and it all comes down to racists feeling emboldened, and given the stresses of the pandemic, what filters they have are shutting down.

They were sentenced to work until death made them free because of their DNA.

I hope the public remembers that 'protestors' are slinging slogans evoking nazism and slavery.

When you think they can't go any lower, their Idiot-In-Chief comes out with something which sends them into a frothy state.
