Jew Money

Democrat Mike McMahon finds dirty money in his Republican opponent's campaign coffers.

If a Republican criticized a Democrat for accepting Jewish money, it would be on the evening news and the front page of every paper in country and would be treated as evidence of anti-Semitism throughout the party. But, Democrats have a long proud history of anti-Semitism and most of the news media agrees with them.

Mike Grimm, a G.O.P challenger for Mike McMahon's Congressional seat, took in over $200,000 in his last filing.

But in an effort to show that Grimm lacks support among voters in the district, which covers Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, the McMahon campaign compiled a list of Jewish donors to Grimm and provided it to The Politicker.

The file, labeled "Grimm Jewish Money Q2," for the second quarter fundraising period, shows a list of over 80 names, a half-dozen of which in fact do hail from Staten Island, and a handful of others that list Brooklyn as home.

"Where is Grimm's money coming from," said Jennifer Nelson, McMahon's campaign spokeman. "There is a lot of Jewish money, a lot of money from people in Florida and Manhattan, retirees."
