    As usual, Ted Cruz is lying. Not wrong: he knows almost all antisemitism comes from the right. Remember Charlottesville? Ted Cruz lies constantly.

      Ted Cruz absolutely is a lying bigoted piece of shit. But racism and antisemitism absolutely comes from both sides of the aisle in large quantity. If you were to say it’s more accepted on the right I’d agree, but bigotry of all types is plenty rampant on the left.

      Edit: love the downvotes, but I am a leftwing jew. Nearly 100% of the antisemitism I have experienced first hand in my life has come from the left. Most of the racism my wife, who is not white, has come from the left. If you honestly think the left doesn’t also have a serious problem with bigotry you are all fucking blind. Actually ask people who actually experience these things where it’s coming from and you will get a more nuanced answer than “right wing racist, leftwing good”…
