Radio caller accuses Sen. Cardin of dual loyalty

(JNS.org) A caller on a C-SPAN radio show accused U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, of dual loyalty to America and Israel, based on the senator’s Jewish faith. “Mr. Cardin looks like a regular white guy, nice guy, whatever, but in actuality he’s a Jewish white guy,” a caller identified as “Eric from Georgia” said last week during a segment about the Iran nuclear deal. “If the public was informed of that by C-SPAN, I think they would take his comments differently.” “Because this guy is Jewish, that means that he is concerned about Israel,” added the caller. Cardin said he took “great offense” at the caller’s accusation. “Our religion is our personal business and should have nothing to do with an evaluation from anyone as to our objectivity on issues concerning America,” he said.
