Cartoonist Ben Garrison has been disinvited from the White House Social Media Summit according to Politico Playbook. Garrison, who is often referred to as "alt-right," has been widely condemned for creating cartoons often thought to have anti-Semitic and racist content. The Anti-Defamation League has said that Garrison is "known for cartoons with right-wing, anti-government and conspiratorial themes."
President Trump set the Social Media Summit to address "opportunities and challenges of today’s online environment" according to White House spokesperson Judd Deere who further stated that the president "wants to engage directly with these digital leaders in a discussion on the power of social media." A full list of invitees was not confirmed by the White House, but social media giants Facebook, Twitter, and Google all confirmed that they had not been invited.
EXCERPTED (forgot to check the box)
Not seeing the anti-Semitism. Soros is Jewish in name only.
Name printed on the arm holding up the Soros figure is Rothschild.
I’m not a fan of his cartoons. He’s not subtle or particularly good. Michael Ramirez and Branco should be there before him.
Same here.
’ He’s not subtle or particularly good ‘
WTH criticism of that evil prick Soros is not criticism of Jews sheesh.
Can’t wait to see the ‘toon of his unvite
Nope, nothing antisemitic about the guy with the Star of David.
That’s President Netanyahu of Israel, which has the star of David in its flag. Not anti-Semitic.
Does not make painting anti-semitic. Although, IMO, Soros needs no help being wicked. They both just happen to be Jewish.
I find nothing wrong with this cartoon.
Do you even know who the leader of Israel is or what the flag of Israel even looks like????
I'm not either but a lot of people are and this was a chickens*t move on behalf of the White House in the face of ADL's completely bogus and libelous accusations against Garrison.
I'm so tired of our side being such pussies.
And from what I've read, not a single person who has been de-platformed has been invited.
