Current Events > Trump calls Chuck Todd an old-timey anti-Semitic nickname

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2018/04/23/is-it-anti-semitic-for-president-trump-to-call-chuck-todd-sleepy-eyes/

I guarantee Trump doesnt know the history of the term and also guarantee he picked up the term from one of the many hate groups he has been known to accidentally retweet
---

Isnt Chuck Todd actually Jewish too?

Yikes
---

Who cares tbh.

Never heard of this being anti-semitic in my life
---

I did not know that was a slur

learn something new
---

Stop taking him so literally guys, GOD!
---

Growing up with the internet I read Jews being called many, many things. That is not one of them.
---

I guarantee he heard it from Bannon.
---

This is fucking stupid.

Again

Its exactly the kind of term only Stormfront-tier Hitler worshippers would knowingly use, which we know Trump has retweeted because hes a dope before.

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
---

For you people claiming he didnt know it was a slur, maybe thats why the President shouldnt insult the press on fucking Twitter.

Folks also think "hard worker" is racist, so I wouldn't give this Washington Post article any clout.

People also *random unrelated shit I made up * so this is irrelevant guys.

Cool use of logic. And I'm using logic super loosely here.

The President shouldn't be insulting anyone on Twitter.

This is what happens when you elect an idiot with no filter. Good job guys

I dont think anyone ITT is accusing Trump of knowingly calling him a slur. Its mostly just laughing at him putting his foot in his mouth again. Though I suppose he was due for his daily dosage of Twitter idiocy.

The simplest solution would not be to use your social media platform (that you have declared a source of official statements) to call people you dont like names you learned online
---

I've never heard it therefore it isn't real!
---

"guys guys hes not a racist! he's the president for god sake! he's just so stupid he doesnt know any better GIVE THE GUY A BREAK"
---

UD comes up with a reference to stoners and that's about it. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that there's nothing racist about this at all.
---

Strange I have never heard that used as an insult, unless those mothers telling their kids to go to bed were really horrible mothers.

I'd never heard this used as a racist insult before and had to do some digging to find historical instances of it, so I'm going to chalk this up to ignorance. But:

I think that's a reach. He probably was trying to make fun of how he looks, he often picks out something he perceives as a physical flaw in his nicknames. Literally never heard of that term as a racial slur.
