Prominent Republicans, including former President Donald Trump and the wife of Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano, have recently engaged in an unusual form of antisemitism: attacking American Jews for being insufficiently loyal to Israel.
The most recent instance was last Saturday, when an Israeli reporter asked Mastriano, a Pennsylvania state senator, about his association with the antisemitic founder of the far-right social network Gab and Mastrianos criticism of his Democratic opponent for sending his children to a Jewish school.
Mastrianos wife, Rebecca Mastriano, then stepped in front of the microphones and offered a her own response.
"As a family, we so much love Israel, she said. In fact, Im going to say we probably love Israel more than a lot of Jews do, I have to say that.

This BS from this asshole is NO surprise to any Jew...anywhere...except the oblivious ones and the one's with their heads deeply entrenched in their own tucus.
