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!”
