I would have loved to have been on this one.

If we did have you on, I would have talked about the politicization of anti-Semitism and the selective responses of both sides to bigotry in the opposing political party. The @RJC was remarkably diffident to the attacks on Jewish journalists by Trump supporters in 2016.

In your opinion. You have zero clue as to what we did and what we said directly to principals behind the scenes. Not everything has to be done in public and on social media.

Amid vicious anti-Semitic attacks, I pressed and pressed until the RJC released a masterpiece of equivocation: “We abhor any abuse of journalists, commentators and writers, whether it be from Sanders, Clinton or Trump supporters. There is no room for any of this in any campaign.”

In the heat of the campaign ANYTHING we would have said would have been weaponized by the Democrats. Our statement was unequivocal and balanced.I see you’ve commented on the commentary about Omar but haven’t stated your position as to whether, you find her comments anti-semitic.
