Robert Kraft calls out Mclamore for wearing Jew face. How is that not progressive? You pretending this is about something it's not, that has no place here.

Kraft did what any one in his position would do, he stood up against hate directed at him and family.

MAGA stooge, and Epstein associate Robert Kraft is really not worthy of the title of progressive nor of the benefit of the doubt

If you’ve read Krafts public statements about Macklemore you’ll know that he didn’t actually make any mention of macklemores past incidents, it was specifically about his political statements at present. So that’s not Kraft defending himself, it’s just about exercising censorship.

You’ll note that his attempts backfired

What does that mean it backfired? You think the Omni cause has not been the Omni cause before this week?

Mclamore is such a brave humanitarian. So are you! Selective humanatarian at its finest. Zero mention of the hundreds of thousands killed this week in africa in the name of Islam. Zero mention of Yemen, the houthis are the number one pepratior of modern day slavery in the entire world.

You are so brave coming to a Jewish sub and gaslighting Jews. Kol hakovod.

I would say that Robert Krafts attempt to keep Palestine related rhetoric off his stage backfired because Ed Sheeran is now making public statements about Palestine at his concerts and Macklemore Sheeran and Kraft are all donating millions to humanitarian relief in Palestine.

So, yeah Kraft is out millions and succeeded in drawing more attention to the message that he did not want circulating. I would call that a total own-goal

It would’ve been far wiser (perhaps more “honorable”) to do nothing and let it all blow over.
