Candidate Who Blasts Refugees Is Grandson of Refugees

Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel (R), who has pushed strong anti-refugee messages against Afghans and others, is actually the grandson of refugees from Europe who settled in the Cleveland area with the aid of resettlement organizations after World War II, CNN reports.

Mandel has suggested many refugees are terrorists. He has also said “zero” refugees should be let into the US, claiming Afghan refugees will bring “covid” and “child brides.”
