The only Jewish Republican member of the US House of Representatives is refusing to join many of his colleagues in condemning Rep. Michele Bachman (R-Minn.) and four other GOP lawmakers for letters they wrote to federal agencies asking for an investigation into links between senior government officials and the Muslim Brotherhood.
