On the "Joosh" identity of
Sen. Bernard Sanders

March 5, 2020 --

Senator Sanders, according to the CBS News transcript, said, during the Democrats' February 25 debate,  that he is "very proud of being Jewish."   Except that LPR heard the senator say that  he is "very proud of being [gulp]  Joosh."   He swallowed the name of his religion (as LPR heard it),  answering a question whether, as president, he would move the U.S. embassy back to Tel Aviv, from its current location in Jerusalem, Israel's capital.

Did he reply to the question, "absolutely not."  Not at all.  He answered. "it's something that we would take into consideration."  He went on in this answer to gratuitously denounce Israel Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu as "a reactionary racist."   

With a "Joosh" candidate like this for president, who needs anti-Semites?
