Corbyn ‘Mispronounces’ Epstein as ‘Epschtine’, Ignites Anti-Semitism Row on Social Media

by 

Tuesday witnessed the first face-off between Conservative Party head Boris Johnson and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. The two sparred over Brexit, the NHS, the economy, trust in politics, Jeffrey Epstein, and the monarchy in the first televised debate of the election campaign.

Jeremy Corbyn has stirred up another anti-Semitism row with Twitter user criticising the Labour Party leader for his pronunciation of Jeffrey Epstein’s surname, accusing him of deliberately making the paedophile’s name sound “more Jewish.”

The Labour leader and Prime Minister Boris Johnson went head-to-head on Tuesday night during an ITV election debate.

As the two rivals answered questions on Prince Andrew’s friendship with disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein – an issue that has been in the media spotlight recently – both expressed sympathy for the victims of the convicted sex offender who purportedly killed himself while facing trafficking charges.

While Boris Johnson pronounced Epstein’s surname correctly, Corbyn made it sound like “Ep-schtine”, giving it what has been described as a “Germanic twist.”

The incident sparked immediate fury on social media.

When Twitter user Alec Feldman speculated that Corbyn, whose party has been fending off accusations of anti-Semitism, had made Epstein sound “more Jewish”, comedian David Baddiel tweeted:

“Every Jew watching noticed that.”
