Fox News host Andrea Tantaros said on Thursday during the show “Outnumbered” that she was “dead serious” when she wondered aloud whether the White House was “anti-Semitic.”

Tantaros made the comments during a segment on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming address to Congress.

“I think it is time that we ask the question — I’m dead serious about this — is this White House anti-semitic?” she said.

Her co-host, Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery, looked taken aback, calling that “a pretty heavy charge.”

“I’m asking the question,” Tantaros responded.

Kennedy replied that there’s “absolutely” bad blood between Obama and Netanyahu, but she added, “To say that the President is — “

Tantaros cut her off: “I’m not saying that! I’m asking the question. Because we have never seen an administration more coordinated in their attacks, from Susan Rice to John Kerry to the president, repeatedly, at Netanyahu, calling him, ‘destructive.’ It’s just a question!”

    In this week’s installment of “Andrea Tantaros says something absolutely batshit stupid on Outnumbered”…

  2. “I’m not saying that! I’m asking the question.”

    Being that blatant about the entire shtick/tactic for throwing out these insane accusations in a manner you think absolves you of having done so is, I think, a bit like breaking the 4th wall.

    Someone crown her Queen of Guano and then let’s move on.

  3. I guess no-one has told this bimbo about the famous James Baker quote when the first Bush administration was having its own troubles with Israel. “Fuck the Jews, they don’t vote for us anyway.”

  4. I’m getting really tired of the lazy conflation of Netanyahu/Likud with all Jews. Criticism (or even intense dislike) of the former doesn’t mean anything with respect to the latter.

  5. Still jumping that shark I see.
