All western governments oppose anti-Semitism. Yet the old hatred continues. How toxic is it? And are recent eruptions of anti-Semitism expressions of momentary irritation, misunderstanding, or plain ignorance? White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer could, on a kindly view, fall into the last of these categories. His recent remark that Hitler used no chemical weapons,…
You thought real-life Sean Spicer was making gaffes that drive Jews crazy? You should see Melissa McCarthy playing him on “Saturday Night Live.” Skewering the embattled White House press secretary, McCarthy called Passover the “Jewish Easter” and made a hilarious apology for his bizarre comments about the Holocaust. “I know they’re not really called the…
Outspoken radio host Howard Stern has some choice words for Sean Spicer, slicing and dicing the White House press secretary for his comments earlier this week about the Holocaust. “The guy’s just not informed, and it’s kind of embarrassing — it’s just embarrassing.
