U.S.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich denied an Internet
rumor that Jewish officials had offered to help
him win re-election if he dropped impeachment
efforts against President Bush.
The rumor, which has gained traction in
recent days on left-wing blogs, alleges that
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) and several representatives of the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee
[AIPAC]
offered to "guarantee" Kucinich's re-election to
the House if he dropped his effort to impeach
President Bush and Vice President Dick
Cheney.
According to the account Kucinich, an Ohio
Democrat, threw them out of his office.
An official in Kucinich's office told JTA
Monday that the rumors were baseless.
"It never happened," the official
said..
