Sanders aide apologizes for suggesting Jews have dual loyalty

A campaign aide to Senator Bernie Sanders has apologized for a Facebook post in which she suggested that American Jews have a dual loyalty to Israel, JTA reported Wednesday.

Politico had reported that the aide, Belen Sisa, made the comment as part of a discussion in a Facebook thread in which she said that she supports Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in questioning “the political influence in this country that says it is OK to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”
