An Ohio Republican challenging Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) for his Senate seat slammed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Thursday as a "partisan witchhunt group."
Josh Mandel took to Twitter to accuse the Jewish civil rights group of improperly singling out for criticism far-right activists and internet personalities such as Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec.
"Sad to see @ADL_National become a partisan witchhunt group targeting people for political beliefs. I stand with @Cernovich & @JackPosobiec," Mandel, who currently serves as Ohio's state treasurer, wrote.

An Ohio Republican challenging Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) for his Senate seat slammed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Thursday as a "partisan witchhunt group."
Josh Mandel took to Twitter to accuse the Jewish civil rights group of improperly singling out for criticism far-right activists and internet personalities such as Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec.
"Sad to see @ADL_National become a partisan witchhunt group targeting people for political beliefs. I stand with @Cernovich & @JackPosobiec," Mandel, who currently serves as Ohio's state treasurer, wrote.
Mandel's tweet came two days after the ADL included Cernovich and Posobiec on a list of figures associated with the alt-right, a primarily internet-based white nationalist movement without a clear structure or organization.
In a statement to The Hill, Mandel's campaign said that by releasing such a list, the ADL was venturing down a "slippery slope."
"Of all organizations, the ADL should know that making target lists of people based on their political beliefs is a dangerous practice and slippery slope." (cont)

>Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec.
Imma take a wild guess and say publicizing holocaust denial probably has something to do with that.
>>159452
Neither of them denied the Holocaust?
>>159452
Explain this
>>159444
Fuck the ADL
Don't be silly, it's Ok when the left does it.
>>159452
how can you deny something that never happened?
>>159563
>ADL makes list of rightwing / liberatarian YouTube celebs
>Calls it "Hit list"
>Gives names, address's, emails, phone numbers
Is this legal? This is skirting the line of threat of violence. Not to mention a group like the ADL of all groups should know better.
>>159588
For Jews everything is legal. Even when it's illegal. Like inventing the holocaust to extort money.
>>159591
ADL = Rich, insecure Jewish bankers, politicians, and Hollywood/Media reps who piss themselves when someone draws a swastika
