New York Republican gubernatorial nominee Bruce Blakeman said he went too far by comparing Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander, who is Jewish, to a concentration camp guard.

“Brad Lander — he’s a disgrace,” Blakeman said in a Newsmax interview on Wednesday. “He’s anti-American. He’s antisemitic, even though he’s Jewish. This guy would be a camp guard in the concentration camp if he could. He’s a disaster.”
