House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) called out two progressive Democratic congresswomen while criticizing members of both parties for “the growing anti-semitism” in America’s “political dialogue.”

“The growing anti-Semitism in our political dialogue is repugnant,” Nadler posted on Twitter on Aug. 22. “[Trump’s] comments about disloyalty are a vicious and dangerous anti-Semitic trope. And the Carlos Latuff cartoon forwarded by [Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar] can surely be read for its vile underlying message.”
