CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin and Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera are determined to snare Ted Cruz in their self-styled anti-Semitic witch hunt, due to the “New York values” comment the Texas senator made at an earlier GOP debate.

They’re claiming that Ted Cruz, a strong supporter of Israel, is anti-Semitic.

Here’s Toobin on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, who expresses skepticism on Toobin’s accusation, and Rivera appearing on the O’Reilly Factor on FNC. O’Reilly scorches Geraldo, and even Trump supporter Eric Bolling finds Rivera’s comments to be off the rails.

Conservative writer Ben Shapiro challenged Rivera’s assertions of Cruz’s alleged anti-Semitism by calling out Rivera’s anti-Israel, pro-Hamas stance.

.@GeraldoRivera, who thinks that Hamas will stop killing Jews if Jews "end the occupation," says Cruz is anti-Semitic. What a cynical dolt.

Rivera, ever classy and insightful, responded thus:

@benshapiro right wing douche

Well, that’s . . . astute.
