Congratulations everyone. You’ve given the GOP exactly what they wanted & needed. An excuse to pretend to care about antisemitism, despite a caucus filled with raging white supremacists who attend conferences with a Holocaust denier & a candidate who hosts that Holocaust denier.

🧵 THREAD. Lauren and Dan have been doing phenomenal death penalty reporting for @TheIntercept and this piece is a must-read. (Also kudos to dream editor Andrea Jones, who has always seen the value of this beat and has worked hard to make such stories happen.)
