"Petula dvorak is a left wing columnist for the WaPo.
Today she charged, "sleepy eyes" is a known Nazi anti-semitic slur and Trump's calling F. Chuck that was of a piece with his anti-Semitism.
I've written this to the editors: "My father was an immigrant from a Polish village . All of his family who remained there were wiped out in the Holocaust. I was an attorney for the Department of Justice's OSI which investigated those who cooperated with the Nazis and litigated to get them denaturalized and deported. I have read lots of reports of the events, worked with translators and historians, interviewed many witnesses to the events.. Not once have I come across "sleepy eyes" as a an anti-Semitic slur. while your readers may like to have confirmation of their bias against the president--that he is, among other things, anti-Semitic--the facts do not sustain this. Indeed, a much better case can be made against his predecessor who did so much to aid the Iranian mullahs who call every day for the destruction of Israel and whose inner circle and many of whose long time associates made no real effort to hide this."
Petula is regularly over the line, but this time, I feel compelled to respond to her.
It's columns like these that explain why you have lost any credibility."

"...Yet over the weekend, President Trump tweeted about “Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd,” the NBC “Meet the Press” host who is Jewish.
That is one of Trump’s favorite insults for Todd and one of the descriptions that has been hurled at Jews in the past.
It has been on horrifying “How to Spot a Jew” lists since World War II and all over racist, white nationalist websites.
Trump has been accused of anti-Semitism before, especially in the wake of Charlottesville.
Though the president has Jewish grandchildren, he seems to have lots of sympathy for virulent anti-Semites..."
