Couldn't she have just pretended to be Black or Native American like everybody else? The local Republican Party organizations need to do a better job of vetting their potential candidates. [IsraelTimes] Lena Epstein, who previously presented herself as Jewish but faced criticism after hosting Messianic ’rabbi,’ admits she has been baptized ’into the Christian faith’
A US candidate for chair of the Michigan Republican Party who faced criticism after inviting a Messianic "rabbi" to offer a prayer for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in 2018 has now announced that she is a "Jewish Messianic believer of Christ."
Lena Epstein, who was raised Jewish, made the comments Tuesday at a candidate forum hosted by the conservative group Ottawa County Patriots at a Baptist church in Holland, Michigan. She said her running mate for party co-chair, Pastor Donald Eason of Metro Church of Christ in Sterling Heights, Michigan, was the one who had "baptized me into the Christian faith." |
