Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig criticized The View co-host Meghan McCain this afternoon for declaring that a political cartoon drawn of her by a Jewish cartoonist was "one of the most anti-semitic things I've ever seen." Both Koenig and the cartoonist Eli Valley are Jewish, and McCain is not.

"What does anti-Semitic even mean to you?" Koenig asked. "he's a Jewish cartoonist who has spent his career examining Jewish identity, Zionism & anti-Semitism. if this is the most anti-Semitic thing you've ever seen, you haven't spent any time examining those issues yourself."
