Former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson has had to apologize for endorsing an anti-Semitic article.
Former Spy Apologizes for Supporting Anti-Semitic Article[/tweetthis]
The article “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars,” was written on “alternative media” site UNZ Review. The author, Philip Giraldi, argued that Jews “make the war engine run” and are trying to force the United States into a war with Iran. Without any real evidence to support the claim he also supposes that Jews “own the media.” The incendiary article continues to argue that Jews should wear identifying labels on national television and have ideas that are “a bottle of rat poison.”
When the language of the article was pointed out to Mrs. Wilson on social media, she initially defended the article. She called the article “provocative, but thoughtful.” She additionally waives aside the anti-Semitic elements saying that “many neocon hawks ARE Jewish.”
1) First of all, calm down. Re-tweets don't imply endorsement. Yes, very provocative, but thoughtful. Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish. https://t.co/m5oGgKPo2a

She later apologized for tweeting about the article claiming she “hadn’t done her homework” about the article and the views expressed within. She promised to do a complete job in her readings for the future.
Mrs. Wilson came to national news when her cover was revealed by Robert Novak in 2003. This was seen as an attack on her husband for his doubts about the Bush administration’s justification for invading Iraq. She recently has been known for trying to ban President Trump from Twitter and crowdfund to purchase the app to enable that to occur.
