Giving someone a medal doesn't make them above criticism.
Also doesn't matter if the criticism is true or not. It's the association that counts.
Remember, Donald Trump was endorsed by a former wizard of the KKK and OMFG IT TOOK HIM A WHOLE DAY TO ISSUE A STATEMENT REJECTING SAID ENDORSEMENT!!!!one!
Well, Corbyn is now indelibly linked with Neonazi elements as of yesterday. I...haven't seen any hint of a rejection from him in the last 24 hours so I guess he agrees wholeheartedly with their Jew-hating platform.
*facepalm*
The difference is that Trump had been saying things while campaigning that would appeal to people like David Duke.
Corbyn has not.
Quick Jeremy, hide all the comments you've made praising Hamas!
ffs...
"while campaigning"
Has Corbyn made any such statements since May 3?
So all the eleventy million articles during the US presidential campaign referencing pussy grabbing aren't admissable then because that tape was recorded over a decade before the 2016 presidential campaign began?
Good to know. Not sure why you all kept parroting it to such a spasticated extent then...
Because Trump's behaviour in that regard had not showed any change--for instance, look at how often he all but said he wanted to have sex with Ivanka. It was pretty clear that that's still how he thought of women.
Show me current statements by Corbyn where he's clearly antisemitic (not anti-Israel, or anti-Israeli government, which are not the same as being antisemitic) and then, sure, we've got a history of that going back to those older statements.
You know, I swear I left a set of goalposts round here somewhere.
Oh no wait, there they are! How did they get all the way over there?
So Corbyn's pro-Hamas, anti-Israel comments are inadmissable because they weren't made on the current campaign trail, but a single unsavoury soundbite of The Donald from 12 years ago definitely is because assumptions made about his character.
You say Trump's behaviour towards women hasn't changed, fine. By that token show me a statement where Comrade Corbyn repudiates his former pro-Hamas stance and criticises them for their antisemitism and i'll accept that he's changed
