Fox News host Mark Levin called CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper “self-hating Jews” because he disapproves of their Israel-Gaza coverage.
CNN blasted Fox News host Mark Levin for describing two of its top journalists as “self-hating Jews” on his radio show because he disapproves of their coverage of the Israel-Gaza war. The network on Thursday called Levin’s comments “uninformed, inappropriate and shameful.”On the radio show, syndicated by Westwood One, Levin took particular aim at Wolf Blitzer, after the CNN anchor asked Rep. Hakeem Jeffries about the civilians killed in Gaza by retaliatory airstrikes from Israel.
Levin seemed to cast doubt on Blitzer’s connection to the Holocaust. Blitzer has frequently shared the story of how his grandparents were killed — his father’s parents at Auschwitz and his mother’s in a labor camp. But Levin, who is also Jewish, said that Blitzer’s parents “weren’t victims in one way or another.
Asked for a response, a Fox News spokesperson pointed to comments Levin made on the Thursday evening edition of his radio show, during which he said his words about Blitzer’s family connection to the Holocaust were misunderstood and twisted.“I barely remember saying it,” Levin added. Of the CNN statement, Levin said: “They think they’re going to intimidate me. They think they’re going to silence me.
A prominent conservative radio host, Levin joined Fox News in 2017 and hosts the show “Life, Liberty & Levin” on weekends. He has marketed himself as a truth-teller who “is going to tell it like it is,” even when that meansagainst participating in campaign events by attending a rally for a Virginia state senate candidate and pledged that he would continue to do so after called out by the left-leaning media watchdog Media Matters for America.
In April, just days before a defamation case against Fox News was scheduled to go to trial, Levin harshly criticized the Delaware judge in the matter, calling him “small potatoes” and “obviously biased and partisan.”
