Adrienne Bankert is a beautiful woman but needs to get educated in reality when you are in the news business truth is most important her comments misguided about jews are at most ignorant and in todays society anything said about race ethnicity color and nationality will be under sharp focus and well should be because racism comes from all races even against those who come from the same race i hope she knows better to not make inappropiate comments in a public position
