Bernie Sanders and the anti-Semites make strange bedfellows

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has drawn support from a large variety of Americans. Unfortunately, that includes some of the vilest anti-Semites the far-left has to offer. It invites the question of why people who have a hatred of Jews can’t get enough of a Jewish candidate.

Sanders has been endorsed by Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was voted on by thousands of Americans as the “anti-Semite of the year.” Omar has accused American Jews of dual loyalties and suggested that they have bought Congress with their money. She is also a vocal supporter of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, which calls for the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel.
