Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan suggested that Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman may be more loyal to Israel than to the United States, according to the Los Angeles Times. “Mr. Lieberman, as an Orthodox Jew, is also a dual citizen of Israel,” Farrakhan said incorrectly. “Would he be more faithful to the Constitution of the United States than to the ties that any Jewish person would have to the State of Israel?”
