GOP Lawmakers Apologize for Saying ‘Jew Them Down’

Two Republican state legislators in Kentucky have apologized after using the phrase “Jew them down” in reference to bargaining for a lower price on a state lease agreement, the Lexington Herald Leader reports.

The phrase “Jew down” is an anti-Semitic expression that “plays into the trope of Jews as greedy money handlers who are unwilling to part with their earnings.”
