Dana Loesch is facing new scrutiny after internet sleuths dug up an old tweet from the NRA spokesperson that some have called anti-Semitic.

“I bet Rick Sanchez was fired by a Jew,” she tweeted in 2010 around the time CNN dismissed the anchor following remarks he made calling “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart a “bigot” and suggesting that Jews run CNN and “all the other networks.”

The tweet lay dormant in Loesch’s timeline for years until resurfacing in late February, initially by Israeli media outlets such as Haaretz and The Times of Israel.

Loesch deleted the tweet last month after it began to go viral, according to Snopes.com,
