Don’t fool yourself into thinking Emmer is a ‘moderate’ Tom Emmer signed onto the Texas election-denial suit. That law suit that objected to 4 key state's 2020 election results, Emmer did not object to his own state’s results.

If we’re hoping for a Speaker who will defend democracy, Emmer still follows a right-wing line, considering this Spring ‘23 letter which dog-whistles antisemitism. The letter employs the anti-Semitic trope that rich Jews use their money for power and control.

x The latest Speaker nominee thinks Jews bought control of Congress. Every person who votes for him is totally fine with someone who spreads antisemitic tropes.

Legislator says three Jewish billionaires bought control of Congress https://t.co/oF349VCZ1P via @timesofisrael — Rachel Vindman 🌻 (@natsechobbyist) October 24, 2023 A letter sent by National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Emmer to party members identified three “left-wing radicals” that he says “bought control of Congress for the Democrats.” They are all Jewish. Emmer represents Minnesota’s Sixth District in the US House of Representatives. The Minneapolis-based American Jewish World newspaper first saw the letter, which is said appears to have been circulated in March, in July and reported on it Friday. The letter on Emmer’s letterhead says “the news of impactful, real progress on turning our nation around was undercut by biased media and hundreds of millions of dollars of anti-Republican propaganda put out by liberal special interests, funded by deep-pocketed far-left billionaires George Soros, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg.” www.timesofisrael.com/...
