It's not about Fox, or Bernie, although he happens to play an iconic role of the manipulative Jew here, or about Biden, or about "real" progressives, or any other kind of progressives.

It is about rehashing one of the most persistent Jew-hating narratives: the Jews pulling the strings behind the scenes to influence major world events in their favor and to the detriment of the "people", the latter being a very pliable term that can be applied to any group that is sympathetic to antisemitic sentiments. Predictably, it appeals to right-wingers and left-wingers alike.

This shit is as old as antisemitism itself.
