President Trump has taken to calling Chuck Todd “Sleepy Eyes”… which I thought was pretty appropriate. You know… because of his sleepy eyes.

And he did so again yesterday:
Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have given up so much in our negotiations with North Korea, and they have given up nothing. Wow, we haven’t given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!

I figured it was because…you know… he looks like he could use a nap. (Me too!)
NOPE.
IT’S A TERRIBLE HORRIBLE ANTI-SEMITIC SLUR.
TRUMP IS HITLER.
“Sleepy eyes” is an anti Semitic term that was and is stilled used by neo- nazis groups relating to “how to spot a Jew.” Donald Trump just used anti semitic terminology against a Jewish reporter. Why are people not talking about this?! https://t.co/cy54ZEE92v

…Oh?
Sarah is a Parkland student, which makes her a leading voice in politics, obviously… so people are latching on to this.

People are REEEALLY looking for reasons to hate Trump…even if it’s total bullcrap.
Ben Shapiro, a conservative who is CONSTANTLY attacked by REAL anti-Semites for his Jewish faith, weighed in:

Important to note, Ben Shapiro has ALWAYS been quick to point out when he disagrees with Trump. He wouldn’t cover for him. He also is very, very involved with his Jewish faith and heritage, and wouldn’t quickly discount something like this unless he fully felt it was BS.
I just looked this up. She’s confusing “wary and piercing eyes” from Streicher’s “Der Giftpilz” with “sleepy eyes.” Talk about a stretch.

Until I see any evidence consider me a “sleepy eyes” skeptic. Trump is commenting on the shape of Todd’s eyes not his ethnic background.
(Also my eyes are way sleepier than Chuck Todd’s)

There is a 0% chance Trump came up with “sleepy eyes” because it’s some absurdly esoteric anti-Semitic slur that no one uses pic.twitter.com/5aJPT1GFTM

Trump: Ezra Klein has a dumb face
Twitter: in 1937, Goebbels referred to ‘the dumb faces of the Jew’ where will Trump’s anti-semitism end

HAHA! Exactly!
There’s not a Jew on twitter who’s ever heard of this supposed slur. It’s nonsense. https://t.co/mKHwTbyozO

Actual Jews on American streets and college campuses are being physically attacked, and the Left is like “La la la, I can’t hear you!” But one teenage girl says a ridiculous thing is anti-semitic, and the Left rises as one to say, “Yes! Yes it is!” https://t.co/iJB4L2J1Ap

May I point out that many of the very same people who are HORRIFIED by this probably continue to support the Women’s March, whose leaders ACTIVELY stand by Louis Farrakhan, one of the most EGREGIOUS anti-Semites of our time?
But since we’re talking about being disrespectful to the Jewish people… maybe someone should bring this up?
You know what’s offensive to Jews? Your pal @davidhogg111 naming his book Never Again. You want to boycott something? Boycott his book.
