Things are getting from bad to worse for UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
After being exposed as a member of not one, but two, antisemitic Facebook groups, Corbyn invoked the “I was added to the group without my knowledge defense.” That defense, as flimsy as it is, did not explain how he commented on (and tolerated) an antisemitic mural.
And it sure as hell won’t help him now, given that he’s been sprung as the member of a third antisemitic Facebook group, one which he himself joined.
Jeremy Corbyn has been active in one anti-Semitic Facebook group. He was a member of a second anti-Semitic Facebook group until last week. And now Guido can reveal he personally joined and is still a member of a third Facebook group filled with extremely anti-Semitic content.
The difference with the other groups is that Corbyn personally and actively joined “The Labour Party Supporter”. He was not added by anybody else. “The Labour Party Supporter” is full of anti-Semitic postings about the Rothschilds, Jews harvesting organs, the Holocaust and conspiracy theories linking Israel and ISIS. Corbyn remains a member of the group this morning.
Corbyn cannot use the excuse that he was added by someone else and didn’t know about it. He decided the group was something he wanted to join, and something he wanted to remain a member of to this very day, despite the huge amount of anti-Semitic material posted in the group for years
Corbyn needs to quit while he’s behind.
