A rural Tennessee region was rocked this week after thousands of homes received mailers encouraging them to join the local Young Republicans chapter with a campaign platform including No wars for Jews.
The flyers led to a dramatic showdown at a local GOP meeting, including a state lawmakers cry of I am a Jew! and a rejoinder from Austin Lee, the young man behind the flyers: We will not fight wars for you. Cops escorted the provocateur out.
Lets face it, we read about antisemitism and anti-Black or white nationalism, right? the lawmaker, State Rep. Scott Cepicky, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. We hear about this stuff, and people are like, Well, you know, thats over there, or thats in another state, thats not here. Let me tell you something. It came to Maury County.
The mailers, which encouraged recipients to support Lee, also said Stop the Great Replacement (a reference to the antisemitic Great Replacement Theory), Ban Islam and Hinduism and Men in charge.

Anti-Semitism is universal, as is the denying of it and mocking of it, even in JEWISH spaces!
