Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on his show Monday compared President Obama’s actions toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to those directed toward “a white policeman from Ferguson.”

With Netanyahu’s speech before U.S. Congress scheduled for Tuesday, Limbaugh said, the Obama administration has been “trying to essentially poison the jury pool, just like they did in Ferguson.”

“You look at how Obama has treated and does treat Netanyahu, you would think that Netanyahu was a white policeman from Ferguson, Missouri,” Limbaugh continued. “Or that he was one of the cops that choked Eric Garner, or he was one of the jurors in the Trayvon Martin case.”
