MN-06: How about some real anti-Semitic stereotyping?

I think the stress of failing as NRCC chairman is really getting to someone.
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...
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. - American Jewish World

Of course as far as Minnesota’s “mainstream” media is concerned, no politician’s statement is anti-Semitic unless it comes from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). The facts that she is at least twice as intelligent, and probably more like a hundred times more reality-connected than Emmer, notwithstanding.

  1. Apparently, Tom Emmer must have thought that the mailings and commercials running last cycle linking Dan Feehan and George Soros were just what Jim Hagedorn needed to inform MN01 voters that the radicals were taking over Congress.

    FYI Kevin McCarthy is leading a group of Republicans on an expense-paid trip to Israel from August 9-15
    They generally do not like to release the names of who is going until they have returned but MN08 Rep. Pete Stauber has been reported on the list ... and MN01 Jim Hagedorn had expressed before his desire to go.
    They are guests of American Israel Education Foundation (with a paid for guest) ... "gift" cost estimated to be $11,420/person based on McCarthy's previous trip in 2017.
