Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski reacted to reports that the third-party candidate Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol had been pushing is National Review’s David French. Brzezinski suggested a Kristol take a vacation, seemingly dismissing the seriousness of French’s candidacy to take on Trump. “I think Bill needs to take a vacation — no, like a long one,” she said. “And not that there’s anything wrong with this, OK — he hinted over the weekend of the possibility of a third-party candidate to rival Donald Trump. Now, remember, it was the possibility of a third-party candidate to rival Donald Trump.

VIENNA (Reuters) – Far-right parties in some European countries are winning over Jewish voters by exploiting fears about militant Islamists and mainstream parties must do much more to address Europeans’ security concerns, a Jewish leader said on Tuesday. Boosted by Europe’s migrant crisis, Norbert Hofer of Austria’s anti-immigration Freedom Party only narrowly lost the country’s presidential election on May 22. He would have been the first far-right head of state in the European Union. “I understand that, most probably, a not insignificant part of the (Jewish) community here voted for Hofer for the presidency,” the head of the Conference of European Rabbis (CER), Pinchas Goldschmidt, told Reuters in an interview. Goldschmidt, who is also the chief rabbi of Moscow, said he had received reports of a similar shift among French Jews towards supporting the anti-immigration National Front ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections next year in France. “When God gave out intelligence, not everybody stood in line.
