After Winning GOP Primary, Rabbi Takes Moderate Tone
posted on June 8, 2012Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the recent winner of a congressional GOP primary in New Jersey, may become the first rabbi elected to Congress in November. CNN’s Dan Merica reports on Boteach’s moderate swing since the primary, speculating that the shift is due to the fact Boteach’s district “was last represented by a Republican in 1983.” Boteach told Merica, “Republicans are getting fixated with abortion, contraception and gay marriage.”
