It’s 2019 and O.J. Simpson is in a  headline. F Lee Bailey, the guy you probably last heard of at the O.J. trial, isn’t. But he is the cause of it.

A lawyer who once represented notorious former football player O.J. Simpson implied in a recent interview that Jewish influence led the press to censor favorable coverage of the athlete after his famous murder trial in 1994, the New York Postr eported on Sunday.

Interviewed for an hour on the “Morano Whenever” podcast, the bitter Bailey said the book publishing industry and Hollywood have a policy of censoring anything favorable to Simpson.

“Some of the people who claim that most of their lives they’ve been subjected to horrible kinds of prejudice and extermination during World War II are now behaving in exactly the same totalitarian spirit by suppressing the one thing this country has to be proud of when all is said and done, and that’s an unfettered free press,” claimed former criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey on an episode of the “Morano Whenever” podcast. Bailey was a part of O.J. Simpson’s defense team when he was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. He was acquitted of double murder in 1995.

That escalated quickly.

The Jews should have learned from the Holocaust not to discriminate against murderers? I guess that’s his thesis.

Mainly it shows how subjective anti-Semitism is. It can be exploited as the excuse for any particular bugbear. In Bailey’s case, it’s the conviction that his celebrity millionaire client who got away with it was unfairly treated by the Jews.
