FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Oklahoma State Rep. Dennis Johnson apologizes for using word ‘Jew’ in context of negotiating lower price for item while debating bill on House floor
ed note–Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, EVERY religious group on the planet is free of the kind of baggage that Judaism has carried with it for thousands of years. The rational, logical question that must be asked is WHY there are derogatory stereotypes associated with Jews, as in the case of the Oklahoma lawmaker referencing something related to Jews while debating spending issues on the floor of the House.

A Republican lawmaker from Duncan, Oklahoma apologized Wednesday for a derogatory remark he made toward Jewish people while debating a bill on the House floor.
Rep. Dennis Johnson used the word “Jew” in the context of negotiating a lower price for an item while discussing a bill to modify a current law that requires a minimum 6% markup on the retail sale of most goods.
After several legislators remarked on his comment, Johnson, 59, apologized on the floor. He says he later apologized to the speaker of the House and offered to deliver an apology on the floor.
“I made an offhand reference that was inappropriate, and I know that it hurt some folks. I acknowledge that. I regret that. I apologize for it,” Johnson said. “I’m almost 60 years old, and it’s a phrase that was used when I was kid, and it was used often.
“It was just something that came out from the wrinkles of my brain. I certainly did not mean to offend anyone, and I apologize to the folks that I did offend.”
Rabbi Vered Harris of the Temple B’Nai Israel in Oklahoma City said the term in that context is obviously offensive.
“Clearly it is derogatory toward the Jewish people to associate the Jewish community with trying to be cheap or trying to be unscrupulous in business transactions,” Harris said. “I’m very grateful that he realized he said something hurtful and was willing to apologize.”
Johnson’s comment was not the first decorum breach in the Legislature this year. During a legislative deadline last month, tempers flared when the House worked until midnight. One member was gaveled down after cursing loudly and another apologized after getting into a shouting match with the lawmaker presiding over debate.
Two years ago, state Rep. Sally Kern was reprimanded and delivered an apology on the House floor after denigrating blacks and women during a debate on an affirmative action bill.
