Two can play that game …
When left-wing activist Neera Tanden of the Center for American Progress tried playing the antisemitic card on former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, the openly gay Republican fired back by playing the homophobic card.
The beef between the two started and ended on Twitter, where early Saturday morning Tanden took a shot at Trump administration official Marc Caputo.
The previous evening Caputo posted a video of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden being asked to address the bombshell allegations surrounding his crack-smoking son, Hunter. He captioned the video by writing, “Newsworthy question.”
Tanden clapped back the following morning by echoing the unsubstantiated establishment line and accusing Caputo of peddling Russian disinformation.
Look at the full thread below:

Why is the subject of russian propaganda newsworthy?

You’ve given an answer to your own question

Man you are really lost. This stance means you are perfectly happy being a tool of a Russian campaign to hurt one candidate and help another. You’ve learned zero since 2016. Media in other democracies have handled Russian interference much better. No wonder ours is buckling.

Responding to the left-wing activist’s snarky, accusatory tweet, Grenell jumped into the feud and accused her of being a pseudo journalist.
Look:
The Center for American Progress says the Russians are behind the story that Hunter Biden took millions of dollars from China.
The DC media are not journalists – they are advocates. https://t.co/kOT6jvDiFe

To be fair, Tanden is an activist who serves as president of the Center for American Progress, which is a far-left 501(c)(3). But on the other hand, these days “activist” is practically a synonym for “journalist.”
In response to Grenell’s post, independent journalist Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer pointed out that it’s “interesting” how the left reflexively brings out the Russian bogeyman “whenever something” negative comes out about Democrats.
Responding to what McAteer had written, Grenell then lobbed another attack, but this time he accused Tandem of being the one pushing Russian propaganda.
In lobbing the attack, he also brought up billionaire left-wing activist George Soros, who’s been very active in trying to affect the outcome of the 2020 race.
Look:
It’s really interesting that whenever something comes out, they say it’s the Russians, while in this case it’s Hunter’s laptop and no one is disputing the validity of the content published. The main story here is the content, all other stuff is the diversion from Hunter’s doings. https://t.co/zEcQe0HQNu

. @neeratanden is reckless and using her Soros money to push Russian propaganda.
She already helped tank Hillary and now she’s helping implode Joe.
Thanks, Neera! https://t.co/IHCFsSUWsy

This is where the story gets interesting.
Replying to Grenell’s second attack, Tandem trotted out the antisemitism card.
Look:
All of this is lies, some of it anti-Semitic. But I find it fascinating that the Trumpers are ignoring the fact that it’s Trump’s FBI investigating the Russian connection to Rudy and the NYPost story. A very inconvenient fact. https://t.co/yq40FEiAZn

Bad choice, Joyce.
The problem with trying to use the antisemitism or any other card with someone like Grenell is that he has plenty of his own cards to play as well.
And boy did he ever play his:
Stop attacking gay people you don’t agree with. It’s homophobic.
(Did I do that right, Neera). https://t.co/qTAghZmHMs

All that was left was for Grenell to “FINISH HER,” which he did about two minutes later.
Look:
For you of all people to suggest I’m anti-Semitic is sick.

Did he have a point, though? Yes.
The claim that the bombshell emails uncovered by the New York Post last week are Russian disinformation is an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
In fact, bundles of additional evidence has emerged proving — or at least highly suggesting — that the Post’s findings are 100 percent legitimate.
Adam Housley, an award-winning journalist, revealed that Hunter Biden’s attorney has been trying to retrieve the laptop that contains the bombshell emails about Hunter that were published by the Post last week.
This is a monumental finding because, as noted by Housley, “You don’t ask for someone else’s computers…you ask for your own.”
Moreover, Fox News obtained confirmation from sources that the “big guy” referenced in one of the emails was former Vice President Joe Biden himself.

All these findings strongly suggest that the emails contained on the laptop aren’t Russian disinformation — they’re the real deal, and no amount of excuse-making and antisemitism-card-playing will change that.
But if anyone does want to try and play some cards, chances are they won’t be able to beat Grenell’s killer hand.
