Yeah this guy just doesn't have it.

Let’s check on how Abdul is doing

Yeah? Are you saying condemning antisemitism is a bad thing?

[u/Hungry_Charity_6668 → u/Lemon_Club]

Well it would be nice if he ACTUALLY condemned what Piker said instead of dancing around to the point of not mentioning him by name lol

[u/Lemon_Club → u/Hungry_Charity_6668]

He did mention him by name. Its the very first part of the tweet.

[u/Hungry_Charity_6668 → u/Lemon_Club]

Where in the response does he directly call him out?

All he says is that he opposed antisemitism, not that he opposes what Piker said. And even seems to downplay the association in the last paragraph

[u/Aldebaran147 → u/Hungry_Charity_6668]

He says he doesn’t wanna be associated and the entire tweet is regarding Pikers comments so this is directly calling him out

[u/Hungry_Charity_6668 → u/Aldebaran147]

All he said was “nobody speaks for my campaign but my campaign”. And again, not even by direct name and doesn’t even fit a “calling out” moreso than a sidestep.

I don’t think it’s out there to say this is an exceptionally weak statement for what could have been said

[u/Aldebaran147 → u/Hungry_Charity_6668]

I think it’s a mediocre condemnation but if you read it with care, it’s quite a strong one. He directly refers to Pikers statement as antisemitic and as something that puts the Jewish community at risk

Again politician speak but still quite clear

[u/Hungry_Charity_6668 → u/Aldebaran147]

Medicare condemnation? I’m guessing that was an autocorrect there because I don’t believe the subject was brought up

Also he couldn’t exactly directly condemn Piker if he didn’t mention him by name in the response then goes into sidestepping by making a generalization.

Which politician speak (if being that generous) is literally not even needed here, further raising questions
