Michael Rapaport earlier went full blast against Democratic Reps. and called them Jew haters

A month ago, Michael Rapaport criticized Democratic Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing them of being "Jew haters" in response to their comments on the Middle East situation.

Tlaib and Omar faced backlash for spreading a claim by Hamas about an Israeli airstrike at a Gaza hospital, while Ocasio-Cortez called for an immediate cease-fire amid Hamas' actions, including taking hostages.

In a video posted on Instagram, Michael Rapaport expressed his frustration, calling them "fake news spreaders" and urging them to retract their statements, stating that they are among the "biggest squad of Jew haters" in the U.S. government.

It's important to note that Rapaport clarified he can criticize individuals in the Democratic Party without aligning himself with any specific political party.
