POLITICO published a piece Sunday attempting to establish behind the scenes connections between President Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin through a “happy-go-lucky Jewish group.”

Politico has always held itself above conspiracy mongering. Apparently that has changed with the election of President Trump. The story led to instantaneous mockery.

All we had to do is a quick Google search to find that no group has suffered more from the KGB under communist Russia than Chabad-Lubavitch. https://t.co/VNtRyUZhoz

Many called out the bigotry and anti-Semitism demonstrated by the piece.
The happy go lucky website that descends into repugnant anti Semitism can go screw itself. https://t.co/7vUApjznXP

Well, this is a nicely bigoted article right before Passover when religious Jews, aka Chabad, won't be able to respond https://t.co/Y1paC9SXjk

Really? An article about conspiring Jews complete with shadowy graphic of guys in Orthodox hats? https://t.co/xW1r7HmmJ9

this article is offensive on many levels. denigrating @Chabad or implying it is driving a conspiracy evokes age-old myths about #Jews 1/2 https://t.co/mlxlazY9iA

The signs of overwhelming derangement on the Left intensify with each passing day.

Update:
And Ben Shapiro sets the record straight.
Chabad meets with everyone. Their rabbis are literally called "shluchim" -messengers. This Politico article is NUTS.
