Two state Republican Party leaders in Delaware are facing backlash for comments on Facebook that their colleagues called homophobic and anti-Semitic.
New Castle County Republican Party Chairman Chris Rowe, is resigning at the request of party leaders after he used a derogatory term for a gay man in a Facebook post, the Delaware Republican Party said in a statement on Thursday.
"His comment was offensive and did not reflect the values of respect and tolerance held dear by the Delaware Republican Party," Jane Brady, chair of the Delaware Republican Party, said in the statement. "Ultimately, as a result, he lost the support of those he was to lead."
Sussex County Vice Chair Nelly Jordan was criticized for an anti-Semitic Facebook post in which she denounced impeachment by singling out Jewish people and claiming those who support impeaching President Donald Trump are Jews "in name only," the Delaware News Journal reported.

In that she is insulting those who support impeachment as Jews in name only. Thus she thinks real Jews are against impeachment and support the Dotard.

she has now (as of today) apologized via Facebook.

(82,383 posts)6. I know but she is saying Jews support the Dotard
or are against his impeachment, since the ones supposedly (in her view) supporting impeachment are "Jews in name only." So whether she is Jewish or not I suppose does not matter, or maybe it is worse that she is not but telling them what she thinks Jewish people should think in terms of the Dotard's impeachment.
