It was clumsy politically but I don't think she said anything really that inflammatory. You're going to tell me that Israeli lobbyists don't influence US politics with their money or that our politicians are typically expected to turn a blind eye to much of their behavior?

Being a Muslim also worked against her. Hell, Republicans have conflated her with 9/11 and on FOX News it was said because she wears a headscarf she must subscribe to Sharia Law over the US Constitution.
