I wouldn't be surprised if he was the sort who didn't understand that folks can take screenshots of a tweet & therefore even if you delete it, it's not gone. Ie, clueless.

Yes, Bloomberg and Soros are, Steyer's father was Jewish.

o.k. so I guess listing three guys in the same tweet that all happen to be Jewish is being construed as racist? Does this world really have nothing better to worry about than some guy deleting a tweet that might be considered racist?

What does their religion have to do with his statement?

I don't know if they are Jewish. But people were complaining the tweet being sent in bad timing. Right after a bomb was sent to Soros' house. So Kevin deleted it.

Jewish isn't a race (except in the former Soviet Union). If it was being claimed to be anything, it would be anti-Semitic. I don't think anyone is claiming it's anti-Semitic, just inappropriate and bad timing.
