It has triggered a profound reckoning about the future of the American conservative movement, one that played out in real time at Turning Point USA’s recent AmericaFest convention.
This is one of the oldest antisemitic tropes in history, repackaged for the digital age and it should alarm anyone who cares about a healthy conservative movement.
A recent Turning Point USA poll of AmericaFest convention attendees found that over 85% consider Israel an ally of the United States.
Every time conservative leaders are evasive about antisemitism, they make it harder to hold these voters and easier for Democrats to caricature the entire movement as intolerant.
The Turning Point poll also showed that a majority of attendees believe “radical Islam” is the greatest threat facing the West.
