Former CIA operative Valerie Plame has claimed she had no idea that an article entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” from a website run by a Holocaust denier, which she retweeted in 2017, was anti-Semitic

Plame, who announced last week she is running for an open House seat in New Mexico, called the misstep “a doozy” — the same term she used in a 2017 apology — in an interview with MSNBC on Sunday. “I’m human and we all make mistakes. It was just a doozy, and it was very public,” Plame said.
