Guys, he’s not joking with this:

Non-joking tweet:

Farrakhan is a genuinely loathsome bigot, but he’s also a Trump supporter.

To paraphrase Andrew Gillum, *all* the anti-Semites think that Trump is on their side. https://t.co/acxaSYDfxF

WTF:

The insane stupidity of this tweet is hard to fully comprehend.

The reality is there are plenty of antisemites on many parts of the political spectrum… The intellectual blindness to this fact helps promote antisemitism, and Yglesias is now part of that. https://t.co/QltBcjNJzQ

Or both:

Trump supporter? That's either intentionally deceptive or unforgivably ignorant. https://t.co/Z1BGPhZaNk

Let’s go to the videotape, shall we? Trump and his scientists are planning the “genocide of an entire people”:

Mr. Trump: You’re planning, through your scientists, the genocide of an entire people. Do you think God is going to let you do that?https://t.co/v7tQqtoN5z pic.twitter.com/dPI5O2Oyfw
