“Well, we have to ask,” Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro recalls being pressed.

No, they really didn't.

In his new memoir, Shapiro tells the true story of his interaction with Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. The vetting process, headed by former Attorney General Eric Holder, obsessed over Shapiro’s views on Israel. In fact, the vetting team demanded to know if Shapiro had ever been an agent for the Israeli government—on no evidentiary basis except that Shapiro is Jewish.

This is an ancient libel against Jews—driving the Spanish Inquisition, the pogroms in eastern Europe, the Dreyfus Affair in France and, of course Germany under the Nazis. It’s the anti-Semitic assumption that a Jew living as a Jew is suspect of disloyalty on that basis alone.

And now it’s come to America embraced by the Democrat Party itself—part of its presidential campaign in 2024.

Kamala Harris needs to answer for this repulsive development—and so does her party.
