The understandable over sensitivity of many Jewish people doesn&#8217;t change the fact that Benjamins are One Hundred Dollar Bills with the famous Jewish American Benjamin Franklin&#8217;s image on it. Oh, that&#8217;s right. Benjamin Franklin wasn&#8217;t a Jew. He just had a common Jewish first name like half of non Jewish American males. <\/p>\n<p>Pete is using weasle arguments to call out the four outspoken Democratic Congresswomen one of whom had a mouthy chief of staff who stupidly mocked Speaker Pelosi as a racist. Awkward but hardly out of place in Trump world where Trump laps all his toadies in name calling. <\/p>\n<p>To be a Trumplican is to be a supporter of the biggest racialist in American History hands down. Is Trump a racist? Maybe, Maybe not. There is no doubt that he is the most historically ignorant President again, hands down. I described Trump as a race-baiter or words to that effect a few months ago in this Reader Column: <a href=\"http:\/\/duluthreader.com\/articles\/2018\/06\/06\/13606_worse_than_a_racist-51587-1\">Worse Than a Racist<\/a>. As the columns title suggests Donald Trump (IMHO) is an opportunist and as such, much worse than a racist.
