Another Democrat anti Semite reveals himself...the Iranian wing


Ted Lieu doubles down on anti-Semitic trope, first in a tweet, then on CNN

Lieu was calling for the resignation of Ambassador David Friedman, who is Jewish, when he accused him of having a foreign allegiance, which is a common anti-Semitic trope.
He tweeted the accusation and then repeated it on CNN.
