Former 'Wheel of Fortune' host under fire for series of seemingly anti-Semitic tweets

TV host Chuck Woolery

Former host of iconic game shows, such as “Wheel of Fortune” and “Love Connection,” and self-proclaimed “Hollywood Conservative” Chuck Woolery is causing a stir with a string of tweets that appear to attempt to connect communism and Judaism.

On Memorial Day and the day following, Woolery fired off a round of tweets on his apparent theory that Judaism contributed to the rise of Soviet communism and that the religion is still fueling other socialist movements today. He did so by pointing out that Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx and Bernie Sanders are all Jewish.

It's unclear what prompted Woolery's strange attempt to, as one Twitter user put it, prove "that communism is an international Jewish conspiracy."
