WHEN ANTI SEMITISM WINS… It spurs people to action, and that is exactly what is happening in the 1st Congressional District, where Democrats just voted to send an anti-American anti-Semite to the general election in a safe Democratic district. I’m going to be joined by Shimon Blau today at 1. He was so horrified by the thought of another Democratic Jew hater joining Congress he is on a whirlwind tour to get his name on the ballot as an Independent. I know nothing about him other than what he sent me in an email, which is:

I am a 50-year-old semi-retired physician, born and raised in Denver. At age 13, I left to attend school elsewhere and returned to Denver about 13 years ago. My father was a Holocaust survivor from Poland, and my mother immigrated from France. Through extraordinary hard work and sacrifice, they achieved the American dream and instilled in our family the values of integrity, personal responsibility, and service to others.

I can see what Milat Kiros upset him so. He will be on today at 1. Find out more about Shimon by clicking here.
