Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage said Monday that the Democratic Partys money comes mostly from Jewish people.
The Republican told radio station WGAN-AM that Jewish people should be insulted by a Democratic congresswomans statements that some viewed as anti-Semitic.
The Jewish people in America have been great supporters of the Democratic Party, LePage said. In fact, thats where their money comes from for the most part. They should be absolutely insulted for what shes been saying.
LePage, who has previously grabbed headlines for remarks critics deem racist, said he felt completely vindicated from anything he has said in light of freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. She suggested Israels supporters were pushing lawmakers to take a pledge of allegiance to a foreign country, reviving an anti-Semitic trope of dual loyalties.
