Did anyone call Sanders anti-semitic?

Yes, a number of users on Lemmy have made that claim, and this article shows references of it being done by various media outlets and other political pundits.

Sanders is Jewish.... I guess that wouldn't stop people from throwing baseless accusations around.

That's par for the course for the GOP. Toe the line or you're not whatever we say you're not (republican/American/and apparently now Jewish too).
