CNN’s “The Story” host Elex Michaelson remarked how Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff “may not read as Jewish” as potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro<\/a> during Tuesday night’s show.<\/p>\n

During a panel with Los Angeles County Republican Party Chair Roxanne Beckford Hoge and political commentator Eric Messersmith, the three discussed Ossoff’s chances of becoming a presidential candidate after recent betting odds websites placed him second behind California Gov. Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n

Hoge expressed doubts that Ossoff could overcome the Democratic Party “playing footsie with anti-semites” to become a candidate, but Messersmith defended Ossoff as disciplined and very “on message,” despite being untested on the national stage.<\/p>\n

“But on the Jewish thing, because he is Jewish, he might be the Democrat that can thread the needle. Because even though he\u2019s Jewish, he\u2019s very critical of the Israeli government, very critical of Benjamin Netanyahu,” Messersmith said. “He has credibility on that issue. So it\u2019s possible\u2014I think he could fill that lane in between the two extremes of the Democratic Party.”<\/p>\n

Michaelson responded, “Yeah, as a Jew, some people read a little more Jewish than other people, and Jon Ossoff<\/a> may not read as Jewish as Josh Shapiro does, for whatever that\u2019s worth.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Shapiro and Ossoff’s offices for comment.<\/p>\n

Michaelson and Messersmith’s comments received some backlash for appearing to rank Democratic candidates on how “Jewish” they appear.<\/p>\n

“What exactly are we doing here?” conservative commentator Meghan McCain asked.<\/p>\n

Targeted Victory Vice President Logan Dobson wrote, “what a deeply weird place the democratic party is in on this issue.”<\/p>\n

“CNN anchors, chatting casually: ‘There\u2019s the acceptable Jew, you know the one who denounces Netanyahu and Israel.’ ‘What about Scott Wiener?’ ‘Oh\u2026 hahaha. Guess there\u2019s no acceptable Jew,'” Boundless Israel CEO Aviva Klompas commented.<\/p>\n

Former US ambassador David Friedman wrote, “Most dangerous and offensive words in the modern vernacular: ‘As a Jew\u2026'”<\/p>\n

After the clip was shared across social media, Michaelson apologized for his comments on X.<\/p>\n

“I apologize. I made a comment that was offensive. Going forward, I\u2019ll do better,” Michaelson wrote.<\/p>\n

Though currently running for re-election as governor, Shapiro has emerged as a potential 2028 presidential candidate<\/a> in a crowded field. However, his Jewish background and support for Israel has drawn backlash from far-left critics.<\/p>\n

Ossoff also faces re-election this November amid suggestions that he could run for president in 2028. However, he has repeatedly denied<\/a> he has any plans to run in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
