Add Resistance Doc Eugene Gu to the list of those who are attacking Zina Bash, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors who was born in Mexico of using a white power sign at the Brett Kavanaugh hearing yesterday:
Kavanaugh’s former law clerk Zina Bash is flashing a white power sign behind him during his Senate confirmation hearing. They literally want to bring white supremacy to the Supreme Court. What a national outrage and a disgrace to the rule of law. https://t.co/uQGOpNa6xg

But then Gu played the race card, as in he’s the real victim here, after getting called out by Glenn Greenwald and Brian Stelter.
“Two white guys schooling an Asian dude on what constitutes white supremacy,” he tweeted:
Two white guys schooling an Asian dude on what constitutes white supremacy.

Greenwald, who is Jewish, disagreed:
Here's the tactic @eugenegu grabbed for when @brianstelter and I (and many others) denounced his smearing of Zina Bash as a Nazi. I'm always fascinated how – in the "I'm-X-and-therefore-my-argument-wins" crowd – gay Jews are deemed to have no personal stake in fascism & bigotry: https://t.co/AQCxUE5bep
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 4, 2018
Oh, it gets better. Gu then accused Greewalkd of playing his Jew card:
So you pull the gay Jew card to fight an Asian card. Don’t preach against identity politics when you clearly do it too. Glass houses, Glenn.

Gu also thinks the ADL, which called the gesture the hoax that it is, is wrong:
The ADL article that everyone quotes is over a year old. Language and symbols evolve very quickly and a year is an eternity. While originally a 4chan hoax, the “Ok” sign has swept social media as a white power symbol for all practical purposes. Journalists need to get up to speed pic.twitter.com/DoUTvJEF7J
