Майкл Дэвитт тщетно призывал царя остановить погромы, выпустив указ с осуждением погромщиков и разоблачением "кровавого навета".

"The Emperor can destroy, in Russia, the atrocious legend about the annual killing of Christian children by Jews. as an alleged part of the Blood Atonement in Hebrew Paschalrites. In this humane and Christian task he is entitled to the co-operation of the Emperor of Austria, the King of Roumania, and the heads of other Balkan States, where this story of
ritual murder is constantly circulated, and not infrequently as a part of political propaganda, There ought to be a truly Christian crusade waged against this infamous product of ancient, insensate, sectarian hate. It was the inspiration of the most horrible of the Kishineff murders ; the driving of nails through the eyes of a woman, the cutting out of the tongue of a two-year-old child, and of nameless sexual mutilations. Thousands of innocent people have been done to
death in the centuries through which these crimes have been the bloody fruit of a monstrous invention, born of a spirit of superstitious savagery, which no age has yet made any honest civilised endeavour to exorcise out of ignorant and fanatical Christian minds.
The Jews of Kishineff believe with all right-minded people everywhere that no one deplores these shocking crimes more than the Emperor. His humanity is beyond question in popular belief, and, should a suitable opportunity be given, or be forthcoming, while the recollection of this great stain on his country’s reputation remains in the public memory, he may be counted upon, it is to be hoped, to place on record his honest condemnation of such abominable deeds.
Let His Majesty the Tsar add this task to other noble duties with which his name is associated. A special ukase, reciting his own disbelief in the ritual-murder legend, and forbidding under severe penalties its circulation anywhere, and, by any means, in Russia; ordering that this ukase shall be read, in the Emperor’s name, in every church in the Empire, a fortnight before Easter each year for the next five years; let this be done, and the good work is virtually accomplished for Christianity, for civilisation, and for Russia, too."

Q During the pandemic, the QAnon movement has been - appears to be gaining a lot of followers. Can you talk about what you think about that and what you have to say to people who are following this movement right now?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I don’t know much about the movement, other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate, but I don’t know much about the movement. I have heard that it is gaining in popularity. And from what I hear, it’s - these are people that, when they watch the streets of Portland, when they watch what happened in New York City in just the last six or seven months - but this was starting even four years ago when I came here. Almost four years; can you believe it?
These are people that don’t like seeing what’s going on in places like Portland and places like Chicago and New York and other cities and states. And I’ve heard these are people that love our country, and they just don’t like seeing it.
So I don’t know, really, anything about it other than they do, supposedly, like me. And they also would like to see problems in these areas - like, especially the areas that we’re talking about - go away.

371-18-1: House approves non-binding resolution by Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) and Denver Riggleman (R-VA) condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes. pic.twitter.com/4egt1V9kJQ

<...>
Whereas many QAnon followers express anti-Semitic views, and the Anti-Defamation League has said that the movement’s central conspiracy theory includes anti-Semitic elements;
Whereas conspiracy theories have been a central driver of anti-Semitism for centuries, and QAnon conspiracy theories are fanning the flames as anti-Semitism is on the rise in the United States and around the world;
Whereas the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has assessed with high confidence that “fringe political conspiracy theories”, including QAnon, “very likely motivate some domestic extremists, wholly or in part, to engage in criminal or violent activity”, and that these conspiracy theories “very likely encourage the targeting of specific people, places and organizations, thereby increasing the likelihood of violence against these targets”;
<...>
Resolved, That the House of Representatives-
(1) condemns QAnon and rejects the conspiracy theories it promotes;
(2) condemns all other groups and ideologies, from the far left to the far right, that contribute to the spread of unfounded conspiracy theories and that encourage Americans to destroy public and private property and attack law enforcement officers;
(3) encourages the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as all Federal law enforcement and homeland security agencies, to continue to strengthen their focus on preventing violence, threats, harassment, and other criminal activity by extremists motivated by fringe political conspiracy theories;
(4) encourages the intelligence community to uncover any foreign support, assistance, or online amplification QAnon receives, as well as any QAnon affiliations, coordination, and contacts with foreign extremist organizations or groups espousing violence; and
(5) urges all Americans, regardless of our beliefs or partisan affiliation, to seek information from authoritative sources and to engage in political debate from a common factual foundation.

Today the House voted 371-18 to pass my resolution condemning QAnon - an overwhelming bipartisan repudiation of this extremist group and of the conspiracy theories tearing our country apart. Huge thanks to my partner @RepRiggleman.

I am happy to see my resolution to condemn QAnon pass the House and am proud of my colleagues who voted for it. QAnon and the theories it promotes are a danger and a threat that has no place in our country's politics.

Республиканский соавтор резолюции необычным образом проиграл в этом году на праймериз. В его округе находится Шарлоствилл.

Riggleman’s opponent, former Campbell County supervisor and Liberty University employee Bob Good, is running as a staunch social conservative. He’s campaigning on his belief in a traditional view of marriage, ending birthright citizenship and opposing abortion for any reason - even if the mother’s life is in danger.
“The Republican Party, when you look at the creed to protect civil liberties and religious liberties, could be the most inclusive party in the country,” Riggleman said in an interview. “And you know, why aren’t we a big-tent party? Why aren’t we looking at liberties first? Why aren’t we allowing people to live the way they want to live and stopping the government from reaching into every aspect of our lives?”
The district, which spans from the Washington, D.C., exurbs all the way down the North Carolina border, is larger in size than New Jersey. Delegates - roughly 3,500 in number - may have to drive as far as three hours to cast a ballot. And the location of the convention likely benefits Good - who lives near the Tree of Life Ministries in Lynchburg, where the delegates will gather. <...>
The road to Saturday’s convention began in July 2019, when Riggleman officiated the wedding of two men who had volunteered for his campaign. His wife posted a picture of the wedding on her Facebook page.
Several GOP county committees in the district later voted to censure the congressman. The 5th District committee also debated a censure motion, but it did not pass. Good entered the race last September and has said he was recruited by Republicans in the district.
The vote will be a signal about whether socially conservative positions out of step with the majority of Americans are still considered wedge issues for GOP voters. But Good, who stepped down from the Liberty University athletic department to run, has said his opposition to Riggleman extends beyond his willingness to officiate a gay marriage.
“What does Denver stand for?” Good said in a radio debate between the two candidates last month. “What conservative Republican issue is he strong on? What can you point to? He’s out of step with the base of the party on life. He’s out of step on marriage. He’s out of step on immigration. He’s out of step on health care, on climate, on drug legalization.”

We have to understand that some on the far right are at war with the 21st century. They want to go back to the ‘50s-just not sure whether it’s the 1950s or the 1850s. https://t.co/cf7aVxV72z

Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Our first TV spot of the general election is officially live and on the airways all across #VA05! This campaign is about putting people over politics to accomplish the things that really matter. So let's go get it! Are you in? #TheDoctorIsIn pic.twitter.com/2NhkkFHoHi

The House race in Virginia’s usually red 5th District appears within reach for Democratic candidate Cameron Webb, with two nonpartisan political analyst sites saying he is proving competitive against Republican Bob Good.
Between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon, both Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia and Inside Elections shifted their race ratings in Webb’s favor. Sabato’s now rates the race a toss-up, rather than “leans Republican,” while Inside Elections has shifted the race from “likely Republican” to “leans Republican.”
Nathan Gonzales, editor of Inside Elections, said he and his analysts have been hesitant to shift the rating too far in Webb’s favor given the clear “conservative DNA” among voters in the sprawling district, which stretches from Fauquier County to the Shenandoah Valley, through Appomattox and into Southside Virginia along the North Carolina border.
Explaining Thursday's change, he cited Good’s poor early fundraising compared to Webb’s, as well as struggles within the Republican Party to unite behind Good after his victory over incumbent Rep. Denver Riggleman (R) during a bitter GOP nominating convention.
“This district, under normal circumstances, is going to elect a Republican,” Gonzales said. “The question is whether these are normal circumstances. The fact that it’s an open seat helps [Webb], because defeating an incumbent is usually more difficult. Facing an underfunded challenger helps. Having a divided opposition party helps.”

The Cook Political Report shifted the race to a toss-up Sept. 18, saying Webb might just be the Democratic “unicorn” capable of pulling off a victory in a district that President Trump won in 2016 by 11 points.
Webb, who would become the first Black doctor in Congress if elected, is also a lawyer and health policy professor at the University of Virginia. He is campaigning in support of a public health insurance option and criminal justice reform. He trounced an otherwise impressive slate of Democratic candidates during the primary, winning two-thirds of the vote.
