Jason Lewis, a Republican running for US Senate in Minnesota, once said Republicans had"dual loyalties" to Israel, adding that support for the country was the result of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and a"very strong American Jewish lobby."
Lewis, who also argued that the Israel lobby controlled the Republican Party, said in a February 2013 radio show that many in the party viewed the country as the"51st state." He claimed policymakers in President George W. Bush's administration, including former UN Ambassador John Bolton, were dual citizens of Israel and the United States.
