When criticized for the phrase, she responded:
”When I wrote ‘Jewish friends,’ I was talking about how many communities (Jewish, Christian, gay, sometimes fraternities and sororities) hire their ‘own people’ for jobs before others. It is a fact! I find it strange why people find the facts offensive. And now I’m racist? Lmao! How? If what I said is racist or anti-semitic, why isn’t it also racist to just hire your own? America is just a bunch of cry babies who are easily offended, underreact, and… p——! Anyone who thinks I’m racist needs to build a bridge and get over it. I’m not racist, I’m a realist.
She supports the campaign of the Black Lives Matter movement that works against violence and racism towards blacks.
