Andrew Cuomo blames Trump for string of anti-Semitic attacks in New York, Ignoring the fact that Democrats have been coddling anti-Semites for years

The left's default position, Blame Trump, has kicked into full gear with this whopper from New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo, commenting on a series of anti-Semitic attacks in New York.

Speaking for MSNBC, Cuomo said, according to the left-leaning PoliticusUSA:

What can anyone make of President Trump’s tweets? They say more about the sender than anything else. New York, he believes, is a Democratic state, and this is how he plays to his partisan base, by demonizing Democrats. Democrats are evil, Democrats are bad, Democrats have lost their mind, they’re anti-American. You foment [that] hate and then you’re shocked when you see these episodes of hate all across the country?

That has now become the dialogue and the currency of this nation and it’s in politics, but then it resonates out of the politics into society. And now you see people who are acting out on those hateful acts and people are impressionable, and some people are lost and some people are vessels and some people are ill, and they hear it and they respond.

Which is pretty appalling logic, given that the current string of attacks in New York are not the product of some kind of generic and unnamed "hate," as Cuomo is trying to sell it, but a very specific kind of hate, Jew hatred, the very thing that Democrats have been tolerating more and more in their party in the name of "inclusion."

Where have Democrats been as the "Rev." Al Sharpton has gone out of his way to incite violence against Jews? Criticizing him? Not in the least. Sharpton's been right there in the berth of the Democratic Party, with strings of politicians lining up to kiss his ring and win his endorsement.

Where have Democrats been as Louis Farrakhan has spewed his hate?

When has the President ever said or done anything even vaguely antisemitic?

True. This is heinous and makes my blood boil. Cuomo and De Blasio both make vague insinuations of the climate of politics caused by Trump made it so the recent attackers all had to take no responsibility for their violent actions. They just had to go out and shoot somebody. Couldn't help it./s

Since Bill Clinton the trend of lack of personal responsibility and use of "everybody's doing it" has been widespread. The criminal's childhood, the sexist toxic male society, the pressure of modern life, the founding of America by slave holding racists, the lack of the government paying for something.
