President-elect Donald Trump got angry last night on Twitter at CNN’s Jeff Zeleny over a report he did on the president-elect’s allegations of millions of illegal votes for Hillary Clinton with comedian, Daily Beast columnist and SiriusXM radio host Dean Obeidallah quickly jumping to his defense:
Trump slamming CNNs Jeff zeleny by name. Why? It plays well for trump's anti Semitic base since Jeff is Jewish https://t.co/rdynTPXDv1

We are watching attack CNNs Jeff zeleny by name. This is anti semitism on parade by trump.

Except there’s just one problem — Zeleny isn’t Jewish:
Not Jewish, actually, but opposed to any anti-semitic words or thoughts.

Whoops.
Zeleny did answer Trump’s tweetstorm with a request for proof of the allegations:
Good evening! Have been looking for examples of voter fraud. Please send our way. Full-time journalist here still working.
