(Jewish Group) Jason Lewis, candidate for Senate in Minnesota, accused Republicans of 'dual loyalty'
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)A Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota accused Republicans of “dual loyalties to Israel” and said that the “Israeli lobby” controls the party.
Jason Lewis, a former conservative radio host who was unseated in the November 2018 election after one term in Congress representing Minnesota, announced his candidacy for the Senate on Thursday. He will face Democratic incumbent Sen. Tina Smith who won the special election in 2018 to finish the term of Sen. Al Franken who resigned following allegations of sexual impropriety.
Lewis on his nationally syndicated radio show that ran from 2009 to 2014 also said that many in the Republican Party viewed Israel as the “51st state” and discussed the “very strong American Jewish lobby,” CNN reported.
He also called policymakers in President George W. Bush’s administration, including former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, who went on to serve as National Security Advisor to Republican President Donald Trump, “dual citizens” of Israel and the United States.
