Rabbi Shmuley Boteach has emerged as the GOP candidate who will take on incumbent Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) in November.
Pascrell just defeated incumbent Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.); because of redistricting, the two sitting congresmen had to fight it out.
Writing on the Huffington Post (where he is a regular), the rabbi of "kosher sex" fame worries that if Rothman was hit with the "dual loyalty" charge because of his pro-Israel actions, how much worse will it be for him, whose daughter serves with the IDF?
The Prime Minister looked at me solemnly and said, "Tell them your daughter is not only fighting to protect Israel. She’s fighting to protect America. Israel is the front line in the war for freedom."
