PBS Newshour Host Gwen Ifill Takes Social Media Shot at Israel’s Netanyahu

by Spencer Irvine on

We’ll let the Free Beacon explain what happened on social media:

Gwen Ifill, the host of PBS’s Newhour program, defended herself from criticism after taking heat for sending a tweet that many users interpreted as a shot against Israeli Prime Minister Benjain Netanyahu.

Ifill retweeted a message from the State Department’s official pro-Iran deal Twitter account claiming that the recently inked accord would significantly reduce Iran’s ability to produce a nuclear weapon.

“Take that, Bibi,” Ifill wrote in a message sent with the State Department’s tweet.
