Bernie Sanders Forced To Answer Anti-Semitic Question About 'Zionist Jews'

During a campaign event in Harlem on Saturday night, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders addressed race and politics, and, of course, the issue of Zionist Jews.

An attendee at the event at the Apollo Theater posed a blatantly anti-Semitic question to the Vermont Senator, who is Jewish:

“As you know, the Zionist Jews–and I don’t mean to offend anybody–they run the Federal Reserve, they run Wall Street, they run every campaign.”

Identified by The New York Times as John Prince, the man went on to ask, “What is your affiliation to your Jewish community? That’s all I’m asking.”

Sanders replied, “That’s not what you’re asking,” before defending Israel and saying that Palestinians deserve protection, too.
