Joe Lieberman: 'Democratic Party not anti-Jewish but some members are'

Former US Senator Joe Lieberman, a Democrat who later became an Independent, said in an interview broadcast Sunday that the Democratic Party "is not an anti-Jewish party" but that it has members who say anti-Semitic things, The Hill reported.

"The Democratic Party is not an anti-Jewish party, but there are some people in the party now, including in Congress as we've seen from Congresswoman Omar...who are saying explicitly anti-Semitic things," Lieberman, who is Jewish, was quoted as having said in an interview on AM 970 in New York.
