Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) Goes on Antisemitic Rant on National Telvision

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) questioned George Soros’s Jewish ancestry in an unprovoked diatribe on Fox Business during an interview with Stuart Varney. His statements were so offensive that the Fox Business host condemned it. Rep. Gohmert later claimed that his rant was a “pro-Jewish statement,” citing an anti-Soros statement from the Israeli government. 

After the break, Stuart Varney apologizes for Rep. Gohmert’s inaccurate and antisemitic statements, saying that Gohmert “went out of his way” to make them, and telling viewers that Gohmert’s statement does not represent the network’s views. Skip to 0:16 for the apology.
