Medford, OR – An independent congressional candidate from Oregon who recently called first lady Melania Trump a “hoebag” and tweeted that she “works by the hour” has stirred controversy by aiming apparently anti-Semitic remarks at a prominent Jewish Twitter personality.

Mark Roberts launched an attack on Shoshana Weissmann, the digital media director at the conservative R Street Institute think tank, after she tweeted that he was an “idiot” who didn’t “understand how the “First Amendment works.”
In response, Roberts tweeted “Shalom mein #Yenta,” a Yiddish term for a gossipy woman, and later a YouTube video of the “Dreidel” song.
Weissmann is well known for her support of licensing reform, her rainbow-colored hair and her love of sloths.
“I admire how smart Mark is. He figured out I’m Jewish!!! GENIUS! And I try so hard to hide it!!! Great pick for Congress,” Weissmann retorted, prompting Roberts to declare that he was Jewish as well.
“Yeah it was tough, the face gave it away, if only you were smart enough to figure out I’m Jewish #nitwit,” he wrote.
“If you’re Jewish and also attacking other people for being Jewish, then you’re just even more pathetic than I thought,” Weissmann countered.
Asked by one twitter user why “anti-Semitism like yours [is] all the rage these days,” Roberts replied, “Off with your #Yarmulke and I’ll take a ginsu to your pe’ah too! #oyveyismere you people are so stupid.”
Roberts, who has described himself as “independent, a conservative and a disgruntled life-long Republican,” is given little chance of unseating the nine-time Republican incumbent in the 2nd Congressional District race, Greg Walden.
Figures this clown comes from the most liberal state in the country
Being a jew hater is in vogue these days ,it brings a lot of followers and campaign dollars.
if some one in America could figure out how to sell nut cases like him, they could make a fortune…..
Why are we falling for this guy’s BS? It just gives him the attention he needs to be able to get anywhere. This is exactly how we ended up with The Mindless Tweeter in the White House.
Typical self hating liberal Jew
yamsar so we finally know your name, Mark Roberts.
Self hating liberal Jews are one of our greatest threats. They are so damn obsessed with a perceived political correctness that they fail to see the self destructive nature of their actions. Jew haters of all types latch on to these idiots and use them as reasons to discredit Israel and its one hundred percent accurate reasons to exist on its land. If these idiots ever wake up to reality, it may be too late.
