Dump is dog whistling again

Now he's mispronouncing Rosenstein and Feinstein as "steens," even though I've heard him pronounce them correctly before.

We already have antiSemite on this shitbag's list of sins, though, don't we?

He isn't so much of an anti-semite, that Netanyahu and the Israelis will stop kissing his ass!!!

And Sheldon Adelson still loves him some Trump....

He told them it was stein, but I can't remember who it was. He knows what is right.

I wonder what Jared thinks?

... even a Jewish name? Sounds more like garden-variety intentional disrespect.

... as I wrote in my original reply. But I failed to see how it is anti-semitic.

And occasionally saying Feinstein and other times Fine-steeeen is definitely making fun of the heritage of the name. I'm from L.A., where the same thing would happen.
