Antisemitism Is Bad, Even Without a MAGA Hat

It's not a good "vibe"

I don’t like antisemitism, no matter who’s doing it.

In my opinion, it’s a mistake to interview Jew-haters without pushing back on their bigotry. If a guy publicly says he admires Hitler and Stalin because they killed so many Jews, it’s a bad idea to act like that’s okay.

Apparently, that makes me a minority in 2025 America. It’s now fashionable to hate Jews, but only under certain circumstances. It’s different when the “good guys” do it. Just make sure nobody mistakes you for a Republican.

Exhibit A…

Michael Schneider, Variety:

“Succession” actress Dasha Nekrasova has been fired by her talent agency, Gersh, a spokesperson has confirmed to Variety. The actress was let go after far-right commentator Nick Fuentes appeared on Nekrasova’s podcast “Red Scare,” which she hosts with Anna Khachiyan.

On the podcast video, uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 10, the hosts discussed Fuentes’ rise in popularity, as well as the Charlie Kirk assassination, immigration, Kanye West, vaccines, the “Groyper army” and more.

I vaguely know who this woman is, and I’m not sure why I need to know she’s been dropped by her talent agents. But the fine folks at Variety think it’s important.

Can you guess whose antisemitism isn’t all that important to them?

Exhibit B…
