Spanish MP Insults Catholics – Or Was It "Antisemitism"?

Three of his examples were taken from the Old Testament, and must therefore be qualified as “antisemitism” – according to Rufiáns own standards.
Rufián [Spanish for “pimp”] made his statement during the debate on a law promoting transvestites. Spain – a country with a youth unemployment rate of 40% - seems to have no other problems.
In November 2018, Rufián was expelled from parliament after – likely correctly - identifiying then Minister of Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell as "hooligan" and "unworthy." The unworthy Borrell is now Vice-President of the European Commission.
A weak Barcelona Cardinal Juan José Omella, president of the Spanish Bishops, “regretted” Rufián’s rant on Twitter.com adding that some Catholics also “vote for him or are members of his [diabolical] party."
At least, Omella called on him to address the issues that “seriously affect” society. He mentioned decent work, housing, social cohesion, family.
