“Jewish Money” List: Rep. McMahon Criticized For Releasing List of Opponent’s Jewish Contributors

There is a bizarre dispute brewing in New York where Rep. Mike McMahon is being criticized for his publication of a list of his opponent Mike Grimm’s Jewish contributors.

The McMahon campaign allegedly released a list labeled “Grimm Jewish Money Q2” with over 80 names. Most were outside of the district and the list, according to Jennifer Nelson, McMahon’s campaign spokesperson, was to show “[w]here is Grimm’s money coming from. There is a lot of Jewish money, a lot of money from people in Florida and Manhattan, retirees.”

The campaign was quick to point out that the list was complied by Debra Solomon, who is Jewish. Nelson noted “She herself is Jewish so she knows a lot of people in that community.”

McMahon has now fired Nelson.
