But don't worry. There's a very good explanation.
Hendren excused his remark by pointing to his reputation as a gaffe machine.
"I don't use a Teleprompter, and occasionally I put my foot in my month," he told Tolbert, then inserted it a little farther.
"I was attempting to explain that unlike Sen. Schumer, I believe in traditional values, like we used to see on 'The Andy Griffith Show,'" Hendren said.
"I made the mistake of referring to Sen. Schumer as 'that Jew' and I should not have put it that way, as this took away from what I was trying to say."
Defending himself again to the Arkansas News, Hendren went further, saying he didn't know why the words "that Jew" came out of his mouth. He added that there is a Jewish person in history he admires - Jesus. He's also partial to Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.
"I ought not to have referred to it at all," Hendren told The Associated Press Thursday. "When I referred to him as Jewish, it wasn't because I don't like Jewish people."
My favorite part is his use of the old 'I'm not racist, I have a black friend!' routine, only his 'Jewish friend'? It's Jesus, of course! Who else? Jesus makes everything better.

My favorite part is that he believes in traditional values like Andy Griffith (who I love by the way), but Sen. Schumer couldn't possibly have traditional values because he's Jewish, and it isn't as thought Hendren's tradtional values came from somewhere first. Oh wait, the Old Testament - I'm sure he knows that book, but it's Jewish text so he may not be familiar with it. Fucktard.
Every time you think a conservative can't dig himself in any deeper...
It's Jews for Jesus, the Senate version. Sigh. Because of course the only good Jew is one who realizes the error of his ways...
