Former CIA agent Valerie Plame, who is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Mexico in 2020, acknowledged on CNN on Monday that she was “foolish” and “embarrassed” for sharing an anti-Semitic article in 2017 titled, “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars.”
“The only thing that I focused on in that article was—I thought it was a very bad idea to get out of the Iran nuclear deal,” said Plame, who is running for the seat that will be vacated by Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), who is running to replace the retiring Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.). “That’s very much what I was focused on. I stupidly did not read the rest of the article and when I did, I was really horrified.”
