Senate Candidate Calls Congressman a "Whore for AIPAC" During Live TV Debate

04/06/2012

Connecticut Senate candidate Lee Whitnum, an author from Greenwich, went after U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy for his stance on support for Israel.

"I am dealing with whore here, who sells his soul to AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee), who will say anything for the job," she said, in regards to Murphy.

Whitnum is a vocal critic of U.S. aid to Israel, and has advocated prosecuting Jewish-Americans who settle in Israel and, in her words, "maim or kill in the Promised Land."

She also attacked Tong, calling him "ignorant" and a "zealot" for coming to Murphy's defense in support for Israel.

In a new release sent out Friday, Whitnum blamed her outburst at what she called the other candidates' "apparent ignorance of well-documented fact."

"I was struck speechless," Whitnum said. "The entire reason why I run for public office is because of the Neoconservatives' role in the taking down of Iraq. A handful of people played my great country into unnecessary war. This must never happen again."
