Actually the disputed word is whether it was "weren't" or "were." As Levin said, he has to take breaths when he speaks. You could make it sound either way if you want. But it doesn't make sense for Levin or anyone to just throw in a statement that someone parents WERE NOT victims of the Holocaust. Why would anyone say someone's parents were not victims of the Holocaust or anything else? Would I say, DaisyDay, you were not an Olympic medalist, especially if I was going to devote just one sentence about you? Levin's point is seen in the next sentence that "certainly his family comes out of that background, but you wouldn't know it." Obviously the point is that with Blizter, here is someone with a family with Holocaust background and when there is the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust Blitzer's bias is against Israel. If a liberal made a comment about a reporter and there was a question about an "n't" at the end and gave a similar explanation people would move on. But Levin is a conservative who is spot on with his comments about those who are trying to undermine Israel, pointing out how CNN and the like always questions Israel, what Israel says is "alleged" or "claimed" and yet is so ready to take the word of Hamas terrorists as fact. With the twisting of the comment they could deflect away from their own horrible anti-Semitism and accuse Levin of being an anti-Semite.I found it:
MARK LEVIN (HOST): I want you to listen to Wolf Blitzer, to Hakeem Jefferies on CNN yesterday. Wolf Blitzer, as I understand it, his parents weren’t victims in one way or another, of the Holocaust. But certainly his family comes out of that background — but you wouldn’t know it. Because the ideology of the left is very attractive. It’s very compelling, particularly if you’re in media. Wolf Blitzer, cut two with Hakeem Jeffries, go.[CLIP BEGINS]
