Lee Whitnum: The Candid Anti-AIPAC Candidate for Joe Lieberman’s Senate Seat

By Maidhc Ó Cathail | The Passionate Attachment | February 29, 2012

Dennis House, the presenter of Connecticut’s “Face the State” TV show, describes his recent interview with a refreshingly candid candidate for Joe Lieberman’s Senate seat:

In her first television interview of the campaign, Lee Whitnum came out swinging against two of her fellow Democrats seeking the nomination for the seat currently held by Joe Lieberman. During a taping of Face the State, the lawyer and author from Greenwich was highly critical of Susan Bysiewicz and Chris Murphy.

On Bysiewicz, here is an excerpt of what Whitnum had to say: “I don’t like her at all. I think she is a card-carrying Israelist.” Is she running to make sure this Congress remains pro-Israel?”

As for Murphy:

“Chris Murphy pledged $30M to Israel over the next ten years……..We elected a young maverick kid and he just hasn’t done very much. He needs to be taken out of office.”

Whitnum hasn’t made many friends in the Connecticut Democratic Party. She is currently suing Governor Malloy, alleging he called her an anti-semite. She called Senator Lieberman a traitor, and demanded Senator Richard Blumenthal to resign, both because of their support of Israel.

Whitnum’s opposition to the United States policy on its ally Israel, has led to those anti-semitism charges. She also filed a lawsuit against the town of Greenwich, for allowing a menorah on town property. On Face the State Sunday, you’ll hear Whitnum talk about what she believes needs to be done when it comes to Israel.

Watch this amazing interview here.

  1. Now, THERE is a US Senatorial candidate that knows what needs to be done! I got goosebumps listening to her identify specifics without mincing any words. How refreshing it is and how essential ! This is someone we must all support and send to Congress! Perhaps this is exactly how we can make Citizens United backfire by ensuring this candidate gets lots of $$$ from milions of us, the people. She represents the will of the American people not The Lobby..
    ..go get ’em Lee!

  2. Lee is a much needed voice in American politics and society. Two corrections: It wasn’t a Menorah, it was worse – a Bar Mitzva was held at Greenwich CT’s town hall. In 1989, the ACLU sued the town because Christmas decorations (Nativity?)were placed at the Cos Cob firehouse. As I understand it, the ACLU wouldn’t represent Lee Whitnum regarding the Bar Mitzva case. However, the ACLU has sued dozens of times across America to have Christian symbols removed. Also, Lee’s position on Blumenthal does not regard Israel, it regards his incompetence or worse on the AIG corporation.

    Whitnum is currently sueing the Norwich Bulletin for disallowing her to participate in a democratic debate on March 3rd.
