On Wednesday's edition of 'New Day' on CNN, former Jeb Bush strategist Ana Navarro that there was a "correlation" between President Trump's attacks on the media and incidents of anti-semitism, saying: "I think his attacks on the media are feeding into these anti-semitic feelings."

In a panel about the president's recent statements denouncing racism and anti-semitism, Navarro said: "It took so much for him to read those words yesterday. It is like squeezing blood out of a stone."

"There's so much to be said from presidential leadership -- We're not going to get it from him on this issue. He hasn't been full throated," she also said about him.

"He appealed to some of those people in his base," she said about racists. "And he doesn't want to mess with that support from the anti-semites that did support them. He wants to keep that support."

"We all remember at his rallies, people shouting 'Jew S. A.,Jew S. A.,' and looking at the media. I think one thing has to do with each other. I think there is a correlation between his attacks on the media and a lot of this anti-semitic feeling," she said.

President Trump denounced anti-semitism and racism during a visit to the new Smithsonian black history museum on Tuesday. "You don't know where it's coming from, but I hope they catch the people," the president said. "I think you maybe have had it for longer than people think, and maybe it gets brought up a little bit more, but Anti-Semitism is horrible, and it's gonna stop and it has to stop."

Any Navarro ever supports is banned by me. The bitch is a Liberal troll

[9YearLurker]

Ana Navarro is one of the worst.

Reliably.

I'd rather follow Keith Ellison. At least he's up front about his world-view and prejudices.

"We all remember at his rallies, people shouting 'Jew S. A.,Jew S. A.,'

What? "USA USA" is the chant. This person is crazed.

I saw many of Trump’s rallies, never once did I ever hear “ ‘Jew S. A.,Jew S. A.,’ and looking at the media”... I call this one of those ‘blood libel’ lies.

[Fhios]

Why do they keep trying to pin anti-semitism to Donald Trump when it’s so obviously false?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Excellent qualifications for her to be summarily flushed down a toilet somewhere followed by a liberal application of 2-ply.

What we heard was “ USA, USA”.......the nasty woman twisted it as “Jew S. A”.

Liberals do hate America.

Ivanka is Jewish. Sorry. They keep throwing out b.s. and none of it sticks. This won't either. Try another one. Wow. We've gone from supporters didn't really support; he's in over his head; he's incompetent and controlled by the Russians or Bannon; he's racist; he's anti-Jewish. They really are playing the Hit List for libs.

[Ymani Cricket]

Meanwhile, the DNC is about to make the true anti-Semite, Keith Ellison, their Party Chair. How’s that for irony?

[Robert DeLong]

So deep down Trump hates his son-in-law, and by extension Ivanka as well. With strategists as bright as this it's no wonder why John McCain got his behind handed to him in the 2008 General Election by a relatively inexperienced community organizer.

Ana Navarro, a loser who other losers look up to as a person to be marveled.

“He hasn’t been full throated”

Unlike you....

[Robert DeLong]

Notice how they never say what S. A. in Jew S. A. chant even means or even how it is derogatory.

[DoughtyOne]

Trump drank some water today.

If that doesn’t make it clear, Navarro will explain it to you.

Face palm...

[Rashputin]

Well, well, Ana. Sounds like you're the one on the old "Joooz control the media" antisemitic rag, not Trump.

So, are you saying the Joooz control the media Ana?

[pissant]

This dumb broad is a rancid POS.

[[Why do they keep trying to pin anti-semitism to Donald Trump when it’s so obviously false?]]

It’s called deflection- their president- obama- was the most anti-semitic president in recent years, and he betrayed Israel bigly right before he left office- and the whole world knows he betrayed Israel- so the dems deflect the criticism by accusing Donald of it

I do not keep a score card as to who in the media is a Jew... It was rather strange to read her accusation... because my take is that Ana Navarro is accusing Trump supporters of calling the media 'Jew liars'... Trump would point to the media bank and call them out on their dishonesty... that is when the crowd would erupt with USA, USA, USA... Maybe this woman is mentally ill, because I never had a hint the dishonesty was because of ethnicity...

Just like when some of the other candidates and their mistresses in the media tried to necklace the KKK around Trump... Total BS ...

[FreedomPoster]

Because they believe in Big Lie propaganda techniques, and don’t think they can be countered, as they think they own the media. Fortunately Trump has upended their media model, they’re just too stupid to realize it.
