I'm talking anti-semitism specifically, not white nationalism (while


recognizing jews are certainly in the cross hairs of the white nationalists). There's no doubt that the white nationalists have been emboldened by Trump's inflammatory language on immigration and his mealy mouth "both sides" denouncement of the white nationalists that marched in Charlottesville, but I don't think there is an anti-semitic wing of the GOP. If anything the core GOP base -- the religious right -- is very pro Israel / pro jewish people... almost in a weird, creepy "chosen people" religious sort of way way.

As far as the dems, yes you have Omar, although I didn't find her comments to bet THAT bad, but her obsession with boycotting Israel feels pretty one sided. You also have Farrakhan, Obama's attendance at a church with an openly anti-semitic pastor, going back farther, you have Jesse Jackson, who garnered a not insignificant amount of primary votes in the 80s referring to New York as Hymietown.

I don't think either party as an "anti-semitic wing", but if either party has problems with tones of anti-semitism and one-sided anti-israel sentiment, it's the Dems not the GOP.
