No, #JoshShapiro Wasn’t Snubbed for VP Because He’s #Jewish

#Republicans & some #journalists are pushing the cynical & false narrative that #antisemitism doomed Shapiro’s candidacy.

No, Josh Shapiro Wasn’t Snubbed for VP Because He's Jewish | The Nation

Republicans and some journalists are pushing the cynical and false narrative that antisemitism doomed Shapiro's candidacy.

#Walz was reportedly charming &, importantly, more deferential in his interview, whereas #Shapiro, per one account, seemed to be negotiating the parameters of the job. It is not difficult to understand why #Harris, a person who is running for president instead of her older boss, might take the person who says he has no greater ambitions over the obviously extremely ambitious person who is 10 yrs her junior.

#JoshShapiro delivers a full-throated #endorsement of #TimWalz as the #Democrats’ VP nominee. “Tim Walz is a great man,” #Shapiro said. “Tim #Walz is an outstanding governor. Tim Walz is a teacher. Tim Walz is a Guardsman. Tim Walz is a great patriot. And I tell you what else, Tim Walz is a dear friend.”

#JoshShapiro, speaking at the #HarrisWalz rally in #Philadelphia, stressed that the #election is about #freedom arguing #Republicans aren’t committed to it as they claim to be.

#Shapiro said it isn’t “freedom” to tell #children what #books they are allowed to read, to tell #workers whether they can join a #union & to tell #women what to do w/their #bodies.

I mean, it’s still the US, aber macht schon ein bisschen Hoffnung:
