Rep. Emmer, NRCC: Wealthy Jewish donors 'bought' Congress

Jewish World News

A letter sent by National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Tom Emmer that said wealthy Jews “bought” Congress has been called anti-Semitic by local Jewish leaders.

NRCC spokesman Chris Pack defended the letter. “There is nothing anti-Semitic about drawing attention to billionaire donors and who they are giving money to,” he said in an email to the Jewish World.

The letter by Rep. Emmer, who represents Minnesota’s Sixth District in the U.S. House, says “the news of impactful, real progress on turning our nation around was undercut by biased media and hundreds of millions of dollars of anti-Republican propaganda put out by liberal special interests, funded by deep-pocketed far-left billionaires George Soros, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg.”

“These left-wing radicals essentially BOUGHT control of Congress for the Democrats,” the letter continues. Soros and Bloomberg are Jews; and Steyer had a Jewish father.
