The Spin
Democratic narrative
This decision dangerously politicizes law enforcement and abandons the fight against rising antisemitism. Ending decades of crucial collaboration in combating hate crimes and extremism at a time when Jewish communities face increasing threats is dangerous and unacceptable.
Republican narrative
This decision was a long time coming, considering how the ADL has continually spied on Americans and falsely smeared conservatives as extremists. The ADL is a far-left operation that protects political allies while targeting ideological opponents. The FBI made the right choice.
