Glenn Beck warned that anti-Semitism was growing in the united States, especially at universities.

Beck made the comments on Monday and the clip was aired as part of his nightly television program. A producer on Beck’s show told him about a widely reported flyer in Ukraine that said Jews had to register with the government. The origins of the fliers are under dispute, but they have been condemned by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.

“The question is where do you run?” Beck said to his staff. “Think the United States is any less anti-Semitic? I mean, yes it less anti-Semitic but we’re doing it in our universities. We’re growing it here.”

Back in 2011, during the Occupy Wall Street protests, Beck warned that the movement featured “its fair share of anti-Semitism.”
