An utterly sickening and blatant display of vitriolic antisemitism shocked attendees and viewers earlier this week when a demented man went on an anti-Jew tirade during an official hearing of the Maryland House of Delegates Judiciary Committee regarding bill that would create a Hate Crimes Grant Fund. The grant would apply to shuls, mosques, and other nonprofits at risk of hate crimes, the Baltimore Scoop reports. Ayo Kimathi spoke at the hearing and blasted the proposed bill as a “Protect the Jew” piece of legislation. “This is in a group of bills that are very disturbing and concerning to me. I call them the ‘Protect the Jew’ bills,” Kimathi said. “Jews have the traditional history – this is what they do – of making claims of being victims when they’re actually in many cases victimizers,” Kimathi said. “So it’s a problem when Jews are the ones making these decisions because the only people they’re looking out for – like these bills – are only for Jews.” So, who is Ayo Kimathi? A bona fide nut. He operated a website — War on the Horizon — and gleefully predicted a coming race war, advocated the “ethnic cleansing” of “black-skinned Uncle Tom race traitors,” and declared that if black people are to survive the 21st century then “we are going to have to kill a lot of whites.” At one point it held an “enemies list” which included Al Sharpton, Lil Wayne, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Barack Obama. But a few days after the Southern Poverty Law Center blog Hatewatch first reported about Kimathi’s racist ranting and unlikely day job at Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), where he was making $115,000, the DHS finally tried to put the Irritated Genie back in his bottle. Kimathi was placed on administrative leave, and was fired several months later. The War on the Horizon Facebook page is gone, too, but not before the Irritated Genie or one of his comrades declared on the page shortly after Kimathi was put on leave that “[t]he war is on! The smallhats (white so-called jews) have stepped it up.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
