Tonight on Erin Burnett Outfront on CNN, common fixture Kayleigh Mcenany was on to defend Trump against charges of anti-Semitism. Steven Goldstein, of the Anne Frank Center was not happy with Mcenany's argument that Trump was not anti-Semitic.

Updated: This story incorrectly quoted Mcenany. We were notified that we misheard the statement.

There was crosstalk during the interaction; we replayed the segment carefully and realized our quotation was incorrect. The corrected quotation is below. We sincerely apologize for the mistake.

Goldstein recently wrote this about Trump's remarks:

The President's sudden acknowledgement is a Band-Aid on the cancer of Antisemitism that has infected his own Administration. His statement today is a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and omissions reflecting Antisemitism, yet day after day have refused to apologize and correct the record. Make no mistake: The Antisemitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration. The White House repeatedly refused to mention Jews in its Holocaust remembrance, and had the audacity to take offense when the world pointed out the ramifications of Holocaust denial. And it was only yesterday, President's Day, that Jewish Community Centers across the nation received bomb threats, and the President said absolutely nothing. When President Trump responds to Antisemitism proactively and in real time, and without pleas and pressure, that's when we'll be able to say this President has turned a corner. This is not that moment.

After Goldstein explained his concerns, Mcenany brought up Trump's daughter, asking if Goldstein hates his own daughter. Goldstein called that a nonsensical question.

Burnett then plays a clip of Trump talking about his electoral victory when being asked about anti-Semitism. Goldstein came back by pointing out the history of Trump's responses to the question of anti-Semitism.

Mcenany then called Goldstein a left-wing commentator who is "doing a disservice to [his] own cause" by attacking the President. Goldstein did not like that statement and expressed his disapproval.

Burnett entered the exchange and argued that some people see things one way, and others see things differently.
