Sigh… I wish I could say I didn’t see this coming. It was her anti-Israel / anti-Semitic remarks which first caught my attention during the election.

Of course, that’s like a bonus in the modern Democratic party, so Power only really got in trouble when she had the gall to utter publicly what we all are thinking privately.

Perhaps more unsettling to realize no one will call him on it.
