A leader of the North Carolina Democratic progressive caucus, Ryan Jenkins, faced backlash for his remarks against the North Carolina Democratic Jewish Caucus.

Jenkins claimed that allowing a Jewish caucus would lead to the end of the Democratic Party, alleging that “they control everything.”

After Democrats voted against recognizing the Jewish Caucus as an affiliated organization, Jenkins criticized the caucus members, describing them as “rich white people” and accusing them of bullying those who abstained from the vote.

Commentary:

The recent controversy surrounding Ryan Jenkins’ remarks sheds light on the internal tensions within the Democratic Party in North Carolina.

Jenkins’ claim that allowing a Jewish caucus within the party would lead to its downfall is a divisive and unfounded claim.

Such statements alienate every normal person and undermine the principles of inclusivity and diversity that the Democratic Party claims to uphold.

While Jenkins has issued an apology for his comments such rhetoric should have no place in the public square.

Accusations of antisemitism or other forms of discrimination should be taken seriously and addressed with care and sensitivity.

It is also worth noting that the North Carolina Democratic Party swiftly distanced itself from Jenkins’ statements, affirming its commitment to a “big tent party” that welcomes diverse voices and perspectives.

Of course we all know that if Republican had made similar statements it would be all over the news 24/7 and there would be no chance to apologize or acceptance of such.

The only standards Democrats and their media allies have are double standards.
