As Jewish former governor speaks in Cleveland, commentators fill YouTube chatroom with racist slurs
Live Chat on the Republican National Committee’s YouTube livestream of the National Convention was swiftly disabled on Monday after the discussion devolved into anti-Semitic rants by far-right commentators.
As Jewish former Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle addressed the convention on the Republican Party’s Jewish outreach and its support of Israel, the chat became inundated with anti-Jewish slurs praising Adolf Hitler, calling to ‘Ban Jews’ and calling the politician a “kike,” the Raw Story reported.
The website posted several photos it snapped of the racist comments.
