Over the weekend, George Lindell became one of Donald Trump’s most famous supporters when he was caught on video shouting, “Jew-S-A!” at the press pen during a Trump rally in Phoenix.

Now Lindell has debuted the mother of all excuses for why he was shouting what appeared to be a blatantly anti-Semitic tirade.

“I’m around Mexican people all the time,” Lindell told Buzzfeed on Sunday. “I speak Spanish a lot. That’s just the way I say it.”

So, you see, Lindell wasn’t being anti-Semitic at all! He was actually just pronouncing the word “U.S.A.” in accented English, which, if true, definitely wouldn’t also be a totally offensive thing to do.

1. Wow, that's an... original attempt at an explanation.

[Behind the Aegis]

7. I know, right?

I have seen some humdingers when it comes to people explaining why what they said wasn't "really" anti-Semitism. Sometimes, I don't have to go all that far , but this "explanation" is a real Trumpster-fire.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. ...

It’s probably not true. In the video, Lindell can also be heard saying, “We’re run by the Jews, OK?” But, in Lindell’s defense, “we’re run by the Jews” sounds a lot like biblioteca, the Spanish word for “library.”
