Able & Baker: Episode 28-The Rise in Antisemitism

Former Minneapolis police officers, Chris and Karina Kelley, discuss the rise in antisemitism in Minneapolis and nationwide. They also discuss the emerging schism between the Democratic Socialists of America and the DFL (Democrat Farmer Labor Party who dominate Minneapolis politics. The DFL leader, Ken Martin, wrote a scathing Twitter post criticizing the DSA for antisemitic comments. The Minneapolis city council has four declared DSA members, and the antisemitic creep is too much for the Jewish mayor, Jacob Frey. The fallout of this incident included several prominent Jewish DFL leaders and several DFL party chairs suspending their involvement in the DFL caucus system until after the election because they morally could not be involved in a system that advocates antisemitic tropes. 

We also discuss the rise in antisemitic rhetoric and protests promoted by student groups at elite universities; alumni and donors are responding by pulling their endowments and legacy funding. 
Today, we honor two police officers who died in the line of duty; we grieve with their families and communities and thank them for their ultimate sacrifice. 
1) Lieutenant Milton Resendez (San Benito Police Department-Texas)
2) Police Officer Richard Mendez (Philadelphia Police Department)
