In a Connecticut Senate Democratic debate on Thursday, long-shot candidate Lee Whitnum was condemned by her colleagues after calling frontrunning Rep. Chris Murphy a "whore" because of his stance on Israel. The New Haven Register:
Whitnum, acknowledged she may have crossed the line, saying she "wasn't really thrilled" with her performance, according to the Associated Press.
"I'm dealing with a whore here who sells his soul to AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee), who will say anything for the job," she said of Murphy's support for Israel. She referred to state Rep. William Tong, D-Stamford, another candidate as "ignorant."
