Host: You're on the list on Facebook. Sorry if I got that wrong. Are there other Israelis in Congress?
Bernie: What
Her apology is terrible: "On today’s show I made a mistake. Rather than asking Senator and Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders whether he had dual U.S./Israeli citizenship, as I had read in a comment on Facebook, I stated it as fact. He corrected me, saying he did not know where the question came from. I apologized immediately," Rehm said. "I want to apologize as well to all our listeners for having made an erroneous statement. I am sorry for the mistake. However, I am glad to play a role in putting this rumor to rest."
Stating random Facebook comments as fact on a national show when the information refuting it is available, then hinting at some weird cabal of Israeli-American lawmakers doesn't put rumors to rest. Asking about some random, plainly false Facebook comment also would have been dumb and needlessly given oxygen to the story.

Putting this incident aside, there are plenty of US politicians that are extremely close to Israeli politics. This isn't a 'weird cabal', it's fact.

They're still the biggest party, but he's a bit Putin-ish and had wanted to change the constitution to shift the country to a presidential system so he could flex those strongman muscles more forcefully. Without a majority that seems unlikely to happen, which is good.
