WATCH: Ana Kasparian Pushes Nazi "Happy Merchant Jew" Meme Live on TYT

In a recent episode of "The Young Turks," co-host Ana Kasparian found herself at the center of a social media storm after a clip from the show went viral. The segment, which discussed surveillance overreach and the potential role of Jewish billionaire Larry Ellison, featured Kasparian making a gesture linked to the notorious "Happy Merchant" meme, a caricature widely recognized for its antisemitic connotations.

The "Happy Merchant" image, originally created by cartoonist A. Wyatt Mann (a pseudonym for Nick Bougas), depicts a stereotypical Jewish figure with exaggerated features, often used to propagate conspiracy theories about Jews.

The meme has been a staple in far-right online communities, particularly on platforms like 4chan and Gab, where it has been used to endorse ideas of Jewish world domination.

During the broadcast, Kasparian rubbed her hands together, and bent her own back when she said "I am talking about..mmm... Yes we are going to surveil everybody, and everybody will be on their best behavior, yes", and added - "You're a freak, You're a total freak".

This moment was captured in a video clip that spread rapidly on X, amplified significantly by far-right influencer Nicholas J. Fuentes, leading to millions of views and widespread condemnation.
