CNN This Morning host Phil Mattingly had Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) on Tuesday morning’s program to discuss several different issues, notably the recent anti-Semitic statements from Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). Together they lamented Republicans calling out Democrats and tried to tie the anti-Semitic comments from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to House Republicans despite him running for president as a Democrat.
Mattingly introduced the subject by asking Slotkin about Jayapal and “the statement that she made about Israel being a racist nation.”
Slotkin responded by complaining about the “inflammatory rhetoric” that she had seen on Capitol Hill recently about Israel, with both Jayapal’s and Kennedy’s statements. She refused to identify Kennedy at first, only referring to the “crazy inflammatory statements” that had been made by “someone who has been invited to testify in front of Jim Jordan and the Judiciary Committee.”
