JTA: Campaign robocall refers to Sen. Dianne Feinstein as ‘traitorous’ Jew

May 17, 2018

A robocall against California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein used anti-Semitic slurs and urged listeners to support the campaign of her neo-Nazi challenger.

The 90-second call refers to Feinstein as a “traitorous” Jew and “an Israeli citizen pretending to be an American.”

Patrick Little, who is running as a Republican, is polling at 18 percent behind Feinstein, a Democrat who has served more than four terms in the Senate. Feinstein is polling at 39 percent in the race, which will pit the top two vote-getters in the June 5 primary against each other in the general election in November. Mainstream Republicans have not put up a serious challenge in what is considered a safe seat for a Democrat.
