Reply #64: yes it is relevant, because he has associated himself with the CCC / KKK [View All]

He named his son Forrest after Nathan Bedford Forrest, an early KKK sympathizer, and initiated contact with the CCC, an anti-semitic organization.

It's also relevant because he said his mother isn't Jewish. His mother might have been raised as a Christian, but she's still Jewish in the sense of having Jewish ancestry. One can be ethnically Jewish but not practice Judaism, or the other way around.

His Jewish ancestry is nothing for him to be ashamed of, yet it seems that he has felt it necessary to hide it. When he said she was “casting aspersions” that said it all about his bigotry.

Fox was not “casting aspersions” of being Jewish, that's not what she was getting at, her full question started with "You have said that your mother is not Jewish but ...". She was questioning his honesty and pointing out his bigotry, and for good reason. Consider that he called the noose that used to hang from a ficus tree in his office "really more of a lasso". He's a liar.

What is Allen saying now?

“I embrace and take great pride in every aspect of my diverse heritage, including my Lumbroso family line’s Jewish heritage, which I learned about from a recent magazine article and my mother confirmed,”

It is quite hard to believe him when he says he just found out that his mother's side of his family is Jewish, especially considering his history of lying.
