The leader of North Carolina's progressive Democrat caucus said that the Jewish Caucus affiliating with the party would "end" it.
Ryan Jenkins, president of the Tar Heel State's progressive caucus, attacked the North Carolina Democratic Jewish Caucus (NCDJC) after the group was denied affiliation with the state's Democratic Party.
Last week, the NCDJC was denied affiliation with the North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) in a vote of 17 no votes, 16 yes votes and 17 abstentions, according to local news reports.
"[If the caucus is approved,] we’re telling them very clearly they are allowed to threaten and bully us, and they will get their way every single time and that our rules don’t apply," he continued.
Jenkins later apologized for his remarks, saying "to anyone who misinterpreted [his comments] as playing to antisemitic tropes about secret cabals and other racist nonsense."
"Seeing it in print, I realize that I chose my words poorly and should have been more exact," Jenkins said.
Jenkins did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Tommy Mattocks, NCDP spokesperson, distanced the state Democrat Party from Jenkin's comments.
"North Carolina Democratic Party is a big tent party, united by our shared values," Mattocks said.
"Our Leadership believes in creating safe spaces for our many constituency communities to organize so that they may advocate for the elected officials and policies that most-impact their lives and their beliefs," Mattocks said.

Again, zero substance.
You would know zero. Troll.
Oh, my stars.
