There are few politicians in this country that I trust less than Jared Polis. He's the ultimate democrat.

Jerry Seinfeld has compared the Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan, according to a Duke University newspaper report of his surprise appearance on the North Carolina school's campus.

According to The Chronicle student newspaper, the 71-year-old Seinfeld star and stand-up comedian spoke to students Tuesday at the Durham, N.C., institution, where he compared those advocating for Palestinian liberation to the KKK white supremacy organization.

“Free Palestine is, to me, just — you’re free to say you don’t like Jews. Just say you don’t like Jews,” Seinfeld said, per the outlet, at an event with Omer Shem Tov, one of the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas during the terrorist group's deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. The attacks preceded the ongoing assault on Gaza by Israel, which has killed over 64,000 Palestinians in the region.

Per the publication, the star continued, "By saying, 'Free Palestine,' you’re not admitting what you really think,” Seinfeld stated. “So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay that’s honest."

The event was held on behalf of the Chabad at Duke group, as well as the Provost’s Initiative on the Middle East, according to the Chronicle, which also reported that Sen. Sophia Chitlik moderated the presentation. When reached for comment, a university spokesperson provided Entertainment Weekly with a statement via email.

"Universities are places where diverse perspectives on difficult and sensitive subjects are explored in a safe and respectful environment. Duke does not preview nor approve the remarks of outside speakers, and their presence on campus should not be understood as an endorsement of their views," the statement reads. It continues, "Jerry Seinfeld was the surprise guest at the student-led event and introduced the program. At his request, his appearance was not announced in advance so the focus could remain on Omer Shem Tov’s spiritual journey during captivity. Several other Duke organizations co-sponsored the event by providing logistical support, as they do for many student-led programs."

EW has additionally reached out to representatives for Seinfeld for comment. EW has also attempted to reach Sen. Chitlik directly. Calls for an end to violence in Gaza have sounded across multiple social and political sectors since the Oct. 7 attacks, particularly in the entertainment industry.

Hey, what's the deal with not being honest and just saying you're ok with genocide and that you desire the extermination of an entire people? Play Seinfeld theme song

Israel's Coach Says 'You'll Need an M-16' to Contain Giannis Before Greece Showdown - Haaretz (lib zionist)

lmao

She's the "head of strategy" at a major PR firm by the way. This is a euphemistic way of saying that she's so slimy you might as well call her Nickelodeon

I don't really have any other commentary about this story, I just lost two HP from seeing this headline and figured I might as well make you all suffer with me

“I was a grand master when Karpov was four, I am half Catholic, half Jewish, and he's pure-blue Soviet. I lived through the siege of Leningrad and saw my relatives die of starvation. You don't forget these things. Karpov? He's a child of peacetime, of the modern world, a little boy who lives for chess. But where is his blood, his tears, his manhood? He's cold and dry and doesn't deserve his championship. He licks the boots of the regime, he concedes to them. He has, I suppose, great willpower for chess, but I have the experience. And his style is so safe, so unattractive. I am—how do you say—a sculptor of chess. He is merely a surgeon. He's not the greatest player in the world, like he thinks; Bobby Fischer is. Then me. When Karpov loses here, he'll sing a different tune, learn humility. He'll know then what Spassky went through after Iceland, and myself for speaking out. Maybe then he can be a true world champion, but this time it is me, and I deserve it." Viktor Korchnoi (1978)

All excerpts are my own translations.

—"I believe that the party you vote for is determined by your attractiveness. If you're attractive, you'll vote for the Conservative Party or Progress Party. If you're unattractive, you'll vote for the Greens, the Reds, or the Labor Party," Brennhovd says in the TikTok video.

Brennhovd of course votes for the Progress Party himself, and uses the word "mog" in Norwegian apparently without a hint of irony.

The Progress Party are the "right-wing populist" shitstains who've been having a great election this year, and who have been way more aggressive about marketing this election than any other party in my experience. Brennhovd also complains about people calling him a "racist fascist", and says that it's "taboo" to openly say you vote for the Progress Party. Wow, it's almost like he's voting for a right-wing populist party that makes a big deal about being "tough on crime", would a racist fascist do thaaaat?! Would a racist fascist do that and make a big deal out of "mogging" people with one's Superior Physique™?!!?

Brennhovd, who himself grew up in Oslo's West End^[The West End is the richer half of Oslo.], believes that where in Norway you come from determines your political alignment to a large extent.

—"Among my friends from Bærum^[Bærum is a suburb west of Oslo.] and West Oslo, the Conservatives and Progress Party are most prominent. It's about where you come from and if you come from a family with a good economy." [emphasis own]

WOW YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY THAT COMING FROM A RICH FAMILY MAKES YOU MORE LIKELY TO BE FUCKING RIGHT-WING!!!! NETTAVISEN WHY ARE YOU PLATFORMING THIS DIPSHIT ARE YOU TRYING TO NORMALIZE THIS SHIT?!?!? YEAH OF COURSE YOU ARE YOU FUCKING SLIMY LITTLE BOURGEOIS YARRAS!!!!!

TIKTOK AND ITS CONSEQUENCES HAVE BEEN A— [deep breath] ...OK, this "pretty people vote Conservative" line is just infantile, is what I want to say. It's literally just elementary school bully tactics, "uggy = bad, priddy = gud," and this nonsense is apparently seen as worth covering by a major news publication... Why does the world have to be like this?!

Edit: Oh, and another thing: Brennhovd also says in this article that a nose piercing is a characteristic feature of left-wing voters, but if you look at the picture you might notice that Brennhovd has a tattoo himself. So I guess some forms of body modification that Europeans copied from the peoples they colonized are OK, but not others, huh!

Edit 2: Commenters, please be aware that negative stereotypes related to appearance, and jokes at the expense of the intellectually disabled, can still be harmful even when directed at absolute fucking hernias.
