“You cannot say, as Sen. Casey does, that on one hand, you’re against antisemitism, it’s intolerable, on the other hand, endorse Summer Lee, who is a member of the ‘Squad’ and speaks regularly with antisemitic slurs,” McCormick told the“And so, you’ve got to be clear on this, and this is a moment where I’m sad to say that too many of our leaders, including Sen.
