Comedian Jon Lovitz sounded off on independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and “the Squad” for their hot takes on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
He took aim at Sanders for describing himself as a socialist Democrat in a lengthy interview with Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
“You know the difference between a communist and a Democratic Socialist? A Democratic Socialist is somebody you vote for, and then they take all your money and give back what they think you need,” he remarked.
“A communist — they just appoint themselves. There’s no election and they do the exact same thing. That’s the only difference.”

Lovitz, who is Jewish, called Sanders a “self-loathing Jew,” who doesn’t “like it when people make money.”
Then he turned the tables on the senator for owning three homes on a public servant’s income. “‘That’s normal.’ No, it isn’t. Not on that salary,” he stated.
Lovitz then turned his ire on the congressional members of “the Squad,” for turning their backs on U.S. ally Israel and supporting Palestine.
“What’s that, Ilhan Omar? She wants to [not] give money to Israel for military aid. They’re our ally! They’re a democracy!” he pointed out.
“Just go — all right. You’re against giving money to a Democratic ally, correct? You’re against that. But we’re giving money to Ukraine.”
He said that Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib was knowingly “spreading lies” about Israel when she tweeted about the bombing of a Gaza hospital that killed 500 was the country’s fault, despite reports to the contrary.
“She’s never taken the tweet down or said I made a mistake. So how can you listen to anything she says?” He questioned.
Lovitz noted that while he acknowledges Tlaib is Palestinian, her messaging is antisemitic, despite her denials.
“They want to get rid of Israel. ‘Well, just because you want to get rid of Israel doesn’t mean you’re antisemitic.’ Well, yeah, it kind of does because it’s a Jewish state,” he told Fox News.
He fired a shot at New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her stance on how climate change is influencing reproduction rates amongst the younger generations.
“You know, AOC said?” Lovitz went off. “I don’t care what party she’s in. I think she’s cute. But she’s an idiot…”
He recalled that AOC said her generation was questioning if they should have children due to climate change, and advised them not to.
“So you’re telling all the people of your generation don’t have kids. Then in 50 years, there’s nobody left on the Earth, moron!” He insulted.
“This is what you’re dealing with! Don’t have kids. Okay. There’ll be no one left to breathe your clean air. It’s moronic!” Lovitz concluded.

Meanwhile, “The Good Wife” star Julianna Margulies blasted non-Jews for staying silent after Hamas’ horrific terrorist attacks against Israel on Oct. 7.
“The events in Israel have shone a light on something I never realized: You, my loving, non-Jewish friends, have no idea of the Jewish experience, of living in our shoes, of learning from the stories of our parents and grandparents,” she wrote in an op-ed for USA Today.
“By your inaction to reach out, I immediately thought about the Jews of the Holocaust and what that must have felt like when no one spoke out, or stood up to protect them,” Margulies added.
She said that while she and her Jewish girlfriends “huddled together crying,” while they tried to “make sense of a world gone mad,” the silence from her non-Jewish friends was “deafening.”
The “Morning Show” star lashed out at those who are taking sides in the conflict, despite the brutal slayings, kidnappings, and rapes of Israelis by Hamas terrorists.
“Sides???? There are no sides. This isn’t about sides; this was a terrorist act against Jews by Hamas. Just like the Nazis, Hamas’ main goal: to cleanse the world of Jews,” she stated.
