Saturday Night Live Alum Jon Lovitz Calls Out Bernie Sanders and the ‘Squad’ for Their Anti-Israel Positions
Former Saturday Night Live performer Jon Lovitz is calling out the far left of the Democratic party over their anti-Israel stance. I don’t believe that Lovitz is a conservative, but he is clearly not a progressive either.
It’s refreshing to see someone in the entertainment industry take this position on the issue.
FOX News reports:
‘SNL’ alum unleashes on ‘disgusting’ Bernie Sanders, ‘horribly antisemitic’ Dem Squad over Israel oppositionComedic actor and outspoken Israel supporter Jon Lovitz went on a tear against Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and members of the Democratic “Squad” for their opposition to the Jewish State.Lovitz, who is Jewish, declared Sanders the “best example” of a “self-loathing Jew,” calling him “disgusting,” and mocked how the senator describes himself as a “Democratic Socialist” versus being a communist.”That’s like asking me, ‘Are you Christian?’ ‘No, no, I’m a Jew for Jesus.’ Well, that’s what it is,” Lovitz told Fox News Digital in an interview. “You know the difference between a communist and a Democratic Socialist? A Democratic Socialist is somebody you vote for, and then they take all your money and give back what they think you need. A communist — they just appoint themselves. There’s no election and they do the exact same thing. That’s the only difference.””And [Sanders is] saying, you know, we shouldn’t have money for, you know, fund Israel, you know, and the Squad, those people… It’s no secret they’re horribly antisemitic,” he said.He mocked Sanders for having three homes despite his $174,000 salary as a senator.”‘That’s normal.’ No, it isn’t. Not on that salary,” Lovitz said while showcasing his Sanders impersonation.”All my friends that are Jewish, like, they go, Bernie Sanders, self-loathing Jew. You know, what’s wrong with this guy? And that’s what that is. ‘Oh, that’s not true.’ Yeah, it is. Yeah, you are. ‘I don’t like it when people make money. It’s not right. They should only make so much. And then it’s enough.’ Well, you have three homes. You should just have one. ‘That’s none of your business.'”
Watch the video below. Lovitz is very well-spoken and even understands the BDS movement. He also does a great Bernie Sanders impression.
Lovitz has also been very outspoken about this issue on his TwitterX feed.
