Democrat Strategist: When It Comes To Israel, Bernie Sanders Is A Liar
“Bernie Sanders is a liar. He lied publicly about the casualties in the last Gaza war…He is using the undercurrent of anti-Semitism, even as a Jew, under the guise of his dislike of Israeli activities, to cover up what people are feeling. Jews and others who believe in freedom and freedom of religion should be very, very concerned…He is the kind of guy who would be perfectly willing to stand there with Barack Obama as Barack Obama did in Egypt and tell everybody that we have to apologize for America. No, we don’t have to apologize for anything…”
—Democrat strategist Hank Sheinkopf on Sanders views on Israel
New York based veteran Democratic strategist, Hank Sheinkopf, called into Kilmeade & Friends to discuss last night’s Democrat debate between Bernie Sanders & Hillary Clinton. Sheinkopf felt Hillary was the winner of the debate and was able to score points with the New York crowd because many New Yorkers feel strongly about increased gun control.

So he is using the undercurrent of anti-Semitism, even as a Jew, under the guise of his dislike of Israeli activities, to cover up what people are feeling. Jews and others who believe in freedom and freedom of religion should be very, very concerned and on realistic foreign policy, should be very, very concerned by the cheers they heard last night. I am very worried about it.
(KILMEADE) I am really worried too. If you read his (New York) Daily News interview, he doesn’t even know why he thinks what he thinks.
(SHEINKOPF) He is dangerous in that way. It’s very simple, it you want to have crisis in the world, don’t make problems with the Jews. Every time it has occurred in the history of the world, bad things happen. Bernie Sanders doesn’t understand the nature of religion. and that somehow there
