A coalition of organizations, including Jewish ones, have called for a reprimand of Jim Lammey of the Shelby County Criminal Court.
Lammey posted a link to an article written by known Holocaust denier David Cole that referred to Muslim immigrants as “foreign mud” and made the Holocaust slur. He also shared anti-immigration articles, memes and conspiracy theories, The Commercial Appeal reported.
The judge has denied being racist or anti-Semitic and says he has the right to free speech, according to the report. He also says that nothing that he has shared on Facebook would prevent him from judging all cases fairly.
“I certainly don’t agree with that, being a Holocaust denier. My best friend — who’s deceased now — was Jewish and I wouldn’t do that,” he told The Commercial Appeal.
Lammey said that he accidentally allowed his Facebook posts to be public earlier this year. They are now no longer visible to the public.
He was elected to office in 2006 and re-elected to serve an eight-year term in 2014.
Among the Jewish groups that have called for Lammey’s censure are the Anti-Defamation League Southeast Region, Jewish Federation and Jewish Foundation of Nashville & Middle Tennessee, Jewish Community Partners and the Tennessee Holocaust Commission. Others include the NAACP Memphis Branch, Memphis Islamic Center, American Muslim Advisory Council, Bridges, Facing History and Ourselves, Memphis Islamic Center and the National Civil Rights Museum.
WHEN the blacks get the **** over slavery, we will get the **** over the holocaust!
I wonder what would be the response if he posted things like (with expletives that I will leave out) Blacks should get over slavery and women over the patriarchy claims, and excuse those remarks by pointing to a deceased best-friend who was a black female.
I would point out that here in Canada a judge was suspended (almost removed except that he apologized) just for wearing a MAGA hat as a joke. His reason for wearing it was to gloat over his fellow judges who had predicted that Trump would lose while he predicted that Trump would win.
So what’s wrong with what he posted? It’s OK by Mrs.Trumpinwhitehouse and Undereducatedarchie and the other VIN Trumpoid alt-yidden posters. And take a wild guess: what Party is the fadrekina nazi judge from?
Did he say MAGA
For two thousand years, all we have been hearing about is one Jew who died on a cross – for 6 million Jews, 75 years is too much?! NEVER!!!!!!!!!
What an idiot.
Were someone to burn his kids, lets then see how fast he gets over that.
Hey, everyone, some of his best friends were Jews!
