![Tweet from Aaron Rupar.
@atrupar
This quote from Jamaal Bowman is a big yikes:
"When you [as Israel] say you represent all Jews, and then you behave badly, it opens the doors for people to make the connection between what Israel is doing and Jewish people, which I think is freaking dangerous as hell."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:63hvnyjvqi2nzzcsjgnry5we/bafkreibqpzkzxrei2ggbagqwvywrycgkkh6ul5d3d26zzh6pxseoja3eza@jpeg)
So when he got pushback on the Jamal tweet he ended up saying "I didn't interpret it that way" or something as an excuse and I said this before but I need some follow up questions. If you are going to use ignorance as an excuse you should have to explain what you thought and why
The big yikes of saying that Bowman quote is a big yikes.
“McDonald’s has sold an untold number of Big Macs, which means they’re obviously right about everything.”
Might be some sort of link here but I’m certainly no expert.
this was one of my favorites. learning this guy genuinely thinks people followed him on twitter for whatever bullshit he was saying and not bc he posted news clips
"What you're saying defies the will of the powerful, and I have power in this realm, so your words are meaningless" is a pretty common sentiment, I keep finding
On behalf of Aarons I say that Mr. Poopar does NOT speak for all of us!
doesn't he mostly have followers by posting other people's stuff? i used to follow him and that's the impression i got, none of what he did or said was original. not bad as a curator but weird to say your followers like you when you're mostly an aggregator
one millon followers and he got ratio'd by a guy with 700. maybe it's mostly bots.
