The Federalist is an English-language online magazine that covers politics, policy, culture, and religion. The Federalist has been described as influential in conservative and libertarian circles. The site was co-founded by Ben Domenech and Sean Davis and launched in September 2013. The current editors are David Harsanyi and Mollie Hemingway.
The Federalist is a news and opinion website that reports with a right wing bias that typically favors the right and denigrates the left. There is frequent use of loaded emotional language such as this: The New York Times’ Hit Piece On Mike Pence Is Anti-Christian Bigotry, Plain And Simple. In general, The Federalist sources all of their information to credible mainstream outlets, however they sometimes use sources that we have rated mixed for factual reporting such as the Daily Caller.
According to an article from the left leaning Daily Beast, The Federalist was openly critical on Donald Trump before he won the election, but has since become a strong supporter of his Presidency and agenda. Further, In November 2017, The Federalist came under criticism from both conservatives and liberals for publishing an opinion piece by Ouachita Baptist University philosopher Tully Borland defending Roy Moore’s dating of teenagers while he was in his 30s and arguing that such behavior was “not without some merit if one wants to raise a large family.”
A factual search reveals that The Federalist has made a Mostly False claim that was not corrected. On 12/13/2018, The Federalist made a Pants on Fire claim, which moves this source to the factually mixed category.
Overall, we rate The Federalist Right Biased based on story selection that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due a few failed fact checks. (8/8/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 1/8/2019)

My favorite part of the federalist, daily wire, etc. is how they always write about how awful liberalism is, and how states like California and NY are hostile to businesses, and every single one of them is based in California or NY.

Us Democrats still need to read sites outside of CNN sometimes though. Because fuck the Jews, right guys? Their silly little Holocaust was so long ago!
Here is the interview that the federalist was citing https://thehill.com/homenews/house/432968-new-cracks-emerge-in-dem-unity does that mean we can read it now? Or should I stick to only getting my opinions from CNN?
P.S. I am only causing debate about Israel. Thanks

I'm confused what the point you're flailing around trying to get at is. I'd understand if you were like a conservative who consistently called out and objected to anti-Semitism and wanted to point out some feet-dragging or hypocrisy on the left.
But you aren't. As far as I can tell, your point is "I'm a consistently awful and antisemitic person, and I'm mad that Ilhan Omar isn't as hated as I am even though I think we are both equally bad people."
If that is your point I'm sorry to say I genuinely do not care about your point.
FWIW I think Omar is fucking up big time and is unable to criticize the Israeli govenrment's influence in Washington without making pretty clear insinuations to old antisemitic tropes (AIPAC doesn't demand "allegiance" and it's dumb to phrase it that way, as if somehow the Jews have tricked Congress into acting in ways that are helpful to Israel at the unwitting expense of the US.)
But again, I don't think to the extent that you even have a point, it's a valuable one.
Also the article is just wrong in characterizing what Clyburn said ,(not that I agree with him either).
Here is the headline: "Top Democrat Tells Holocaust Survivors To Check Their Privilege".
Here is the quote: "I’m serious about that. There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her,” Clyburn said. “I’ve talked to her, and I can tell you she is living through a lot of pain."
Notice how he's talking about the descendants of Holocaust survivors, and not the Holocaust survivors themselves, as the headline clearly and incorrectly states?
That's conservative "journalism" for you I guess. But you think the liberal media is sloppy and bad. Somehow this isn't. Idk, I'm mostly done trying to figure out what conservatives actually mean when they say things.

There is nothing wrong when David Duke supports Omar. It shouldn't concern anyone. He also just wants to cause debate about Israel ✡?

I have it on good authority that anti-Semitism is actually unintentional, and is causing debate about Israel. Thanks
