US attorney John Bash laid the hammer down on liberals Tuesday after they accused his wife of making an alt-right hand gesture
Mexican-Jewish Zina Bash was accused of signaling it during Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's hearing
Her husband slammed the claims and said he nor his wife knew the meaning
Zina was born in Mexico and her grandparents were survivors of the Holocaust
Trump's former associate counsel also called the claims 'idiotic and sickening'
He said his family does not take part in hate groups that 'terrorize and demean'
John's wife, a former law clerk for Kavanaugh, has not remarked on the matter
John Bash laid the hammer down on eagle-eyed liberals Tuesday after they accused his wife of making a white supremacist hand gesture during the hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The US attorney said on social media neither he nor his Mexican-Jewish wife, Zina Bash, had a clue as to what the hateful signal stood for until she was suddenly chastised on Twitter for allegedly making it.
Zina, who formerly served as a law clerk for Kavanaugh, sat directly behind him at the court hearing with her arms crossed. Her right hand was seemingly positioned in an 'OK' sign - which is commonly associated with members of the alt-right.
Her furious husband later slammed the claims and said they are 'idiotic and sickening,' and added he hopes 'people will clearly condemn' them.
