Podcaster Joe Rogan defended a tweet by Rep. Ilhan Omar that claimed support for Israel in Congress was 'all about the Benjamins.' Rogan stated that the idea of Jews not liking money is 'ridiculous' and compared it to saying Italians aren't into pizza. Police in suburban Atlanta are investigating after residents reported finding flyers with antisemitic imagery and messaging in their driveways.
