"On one issue after another, from Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), to the Iran nuclear agreement, to the very legitimacy of Israel, they're divided," Lingle said about Democrats, continuing that "with those that don't care for Israel getting stronger in the Democratic Party. You'll find no such divisions in the Republican Party's leadership."

While Lingle spoke, several people wrote in the comments section, "Ban Jews," "Kike," "Press H for Hitler," and "Oy Gevalt," Rawstory.com reported with captured screen shots of the comments.
