On Thursday, “The View” co-host Meghan McCain broke down into tears discussing her concern over the rise in anti-Semitism in the United States, a discussion which sprang from Democrats’ refusal to condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) for anti-Semitic statements. McCain argued that anti-Semitism should not be a partisan issue, noting that she has a personal connection to the matter due to family-like ties to former Senator Joe Liberman and his wife Hadas, who are Jewish.

“This issue is really intense one for me and just bear with me,” said McCain. “Anti-Semitism shouldn’t be a left or right issue. I don’t think we should be politicizing on either side because, as we know, if it’s a tiki torch person in Charlottesville saying ‘Jews will not replace us’ or we had Bari Weiss talking about these more dog whistle moments, that in my view, Ilhan Omar is doing.”
