You Lost The Debate? Blame the Jews

If Donald Trump lost his second smackdown with Hillary Clinton, it’s because the Jews sabotaged him or spun his performance to their own advantage, say his most ardent backers in the “alt-right” blogosphere.

“The people believe Trump won the debate. It’s really just an objective fact. Not sure how even liberal kikes could claim otherwise. But of course they are. The filthy Jew terrorist Jennifer Rubin is claiming that this is the end of Trump,” wrote Andrew Anglin, the publisher of the neo-Nazi blog The Daily Stormer, disparaging the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin for a post where she concluded that the second debate might be “the end of Trump.” He added: “It was looking bad after pussy-grabocaust. But at the very least, the debate returned us to pre-pussy grabbing levels.”

Anglin, whose site the Southern Poverty Law Center lists as a hate group, opened a live chat window on Youtube during the debate that attracted the same sour grapes-tinged bile. “CUT ALL TAXES…JEWS ALREADY CAN PRINT ALL THE MONEY THEY WANT,” ‘King Leonidas’ opined in the feed. “ALL THESE DEBATES ARE RIGGED.” Other luminous commenters wrote that “anderson cooper eats jew dick” and that Trump was “THE GREATEST KIKE PUSSY GRABBER EVER.”

With the rise of the “alt-right,” Anglin’s site has seen a steady uptick in traffic. One recent post, “Jew Paul Ryan Ally Dan Senor Accused of Leaking Pussygate Tape,” alleges that Senor, a onetime foreign policy advisor to Mitt Romney, leaked the explosive tape in which Trump bragged about committing sexual assault. If Senor was behind it (he’s not), then we say “Godspeed!”
