NPR’s Diane Rehm Accuses Bernie Sanders of Having Dual Israeli-American Citizenship

NPR host Diane Rehm declared during an interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) that he had dual Israeli-American citizenship Wednesday before Sanders set her straight, adding he was “offended” by the comment.

Sanders, who is Jewish, is pursuing the Democratic presidential nomination.

“Senator, you have dual citizenship with Israel,” she said.

“Well, no, I do not have dual citizenship with Israel,” Sanders replied. “I’m an American. I don’t know where that question came from. I am an American citizen, and I have visited Israel on a couple of occasions. No, I’m an American citizen, period.”

Rehm apologized, but said she had seen a “list” that indicated Sanders was, and then she asked Sanders whether he knew if there were members of Congress who had dual citizenship themselves.

I wonder if the Clinton smear machine is behind this? (The Democrat short bus keeps rolling along.)

[BenLurkin]

Hillary does NOT like Israel. Not one bit.

[Gay State Conservative]

I thought that all Jews were automatically Israeli citizens.

[ClearCase_guy]

Rehm is a tremendous socialist. If she's trying to attack Sanders it can only because she's pimping for a candidate with lady parts.

Which is so very odd because I seem to remember Rehm absolutely despising Sarah Palin.

Rehm was selected as Arab American of the Year by ACCESS in 2013 in celebration of her rich heritage

This explains everything. It is quite shocking NPR would hire a Jew hater. /S

[Ann Archy]

EVERY Jew can go to Israel and CLAIM citizenship.....ALL JEWS are qualified. My husband could do it.

[Ann Archy]

Diane Reihm is an ARAB?? Or just a JEW HATER??

[Paulie]

Okay, so she saw a ‘list’. Isn’t standard journalism/reporting protocol to VERIFY whether or not the source is credible and to ascertain if it’s true?

Shouldn’t there be a confirming source as well?

Oh that’s right, this is NPR - all communism, all the time. They don’t have to bother with such trivialities.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wow, Diane Rehm went full Nazi.

[Shady]

Duh. 😜

[COBOL2Java]

I thought that all Jews were automatically Israeli citizens.

You mean, like, magic?

No. The Law of Return has certain stipulations. As I understand it, Senator Sanders would have to emigrate to Israel.

[bigbob]

She fell for an internet hoax. Read the entire transcript.

[Sasparilla]

He’s, on a list? A list? More liberal nonsense.

Which is so very odd because I seem to remember Rehm absolutely despising Sarah Palin.

I have a high tolerance level for listening to some lefties. I could handle a couple of hours of Lynn "The Fishwife" Samuels with the ooo-awfuhll-NooYawk accent.

Diane Rehm often sounds very mild, but she saved her vitriol, bitterness and utter contempt for a fellow who was teaching abstience only. After I heard that, I couldn't bear her any more.

NPR socialists put abortion above financial matters. Sanders, socialist as he is, is enough in tune with his voter base to not go for gun control. Vermont, for all its problems, is Constitutional carry, and has been from before there WAS a U.S. Constitution.

[Farmer Dean]

Let’s not kid ourselves,there never was any list.She invented that list to take the heat off herself when challenged.

[Kid Shelleen]

Every time I read about these race/gender/ethnic obsessed liberals I feel like have to take a shower.

[FatherofFive]

Isn’t standard journalism/reporting protocol to VERIFY whether or not the source is credible and to ascertain if it’s true?

Not if it supports your agenda. Just keep repeating the big lie.

Besides, it was on the internets so it had to be true.

[Kid Shelleen]

>> She fell for an internet hoax. Read the entire transcript

I read that but it would have taken minimal research to get the correct information. Are journalists really that lazy or are they really that dishonest?

[John S Mosby]

Sure— maybe it’s “Schindler’s List”.

Like the commies use to say in their chants-—

“they are making lists”.... like the blacklists of holly weird. And don’t think the socialist useful idiots wouldn’t accept any LIST they could be given by their apparatchik leadership.

This is Hillary and Billary at work. Sanders is “not of the Body”.

[rrrod]

Bernie meet Hillary.....
