(The Center Square) – The Ohio Jewish Caucus denounced the state’s Republican junior U.S. senator on Friday for using a Nazi reference aimed at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Several media outlets reported Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, called the New York Democrat “Fuhrer,” a title that means leader but is most associated with Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.
Moreno, elected in November, reportedly made the comment Thursday to reporters outside of the Senate after the chamber continued debate on trying to pass President Donald Trump’s tax cuts.

Schumer is the nation’s highest-ranking Jewish elected official.
