Question: âHe said  âYou should not run for this office ââ said  Jesse Sbaih  an immigrant from Jordan who is now a trial lawyer . This race for the House  in a district that includes a swath of suburban Las Vegas  is his first run for political office.
 Sbaih  said it happened after  he  had entered the House race.  He  met with Reid in August in a meeting room at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.
 Sbaih  said  he  had sought the meeting in order to win Reidâs support â a key factor in Nevada  where Reid is the unquestioned power broker of Democratic politics. But Reid would not give it   Sbaih  said  and cited Sbaihâs religion as one reason why.
âI did not feel that this was an issue. They made it an issue. My campaign is about me being an American â  Sbaih  said.  He  said  he  had not faced this kind of opposition based on  his  religion before: âI just turned 40. Been in this country for 29 years. And itâs just absolutely shocking that this occurred.â
âSenator Reid did not say that â said Kristen Orthman  a spokeswoman in Reidâs Senate office. â Jesse Sbaih  is a liar and thatâs why  he  is going to lose.â
 Sbaih âs assertion could shake up one of the most competitive House races in the country â a race made possible  in a way  by Reid himself.
On the Republican side  several plausible candidates have already filed to run. On the Democratic side  however  the race was slow to start: late in the summer   Sbaih  was the best-funded and best-known candidate who had declared.
 Sbaih  is an ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.)  who is running  in part  on  his  own remarkable life story.  Sbaih âs parents immigrated from Jordan to Virginia when  he  was 11  and  he  helped support the family by washing dishes in an Italian restaurant as a teen.
Now   Sbaih  said   his  run for office is a way to repay the country for the way it welcomed  his  family.
âIâve always felt: The more America gave me  the more I wanted to give back â  Sbaih  said in an interview with The Washington Post.
But   Sbaih  said   he  was rebuffed when  he  sought to gain Reidâs support.
First   he  said   he  met with a political consultant connected to Reid  Rebecca Lambe. At a coffee shop   Sbaih  said  Lambe brought up his religion and his Arab heritage: âShe said  basically  youâre gonna have a problem winning  as a Muslim  as an Arab.â
 Sbaih  said  he  did not record that meeting with Lambe  or the one  he  had with Reid a few weeks later.
To bolster  his  account   Sbaih  supplied both emails and text messages from the time  in which  he  tells another Reid ally that  he  is âprofoundly disheartened and saddened that the Democratic Party is refusing to accept a candidate like  me  because of my religion and ethnicity.â
In the exchanges of text message and emails provided by Sbaih  however  Reidâs allies do not say explicitly that  Sbaih âs race or religion is a hindrance  nor do they confirm that Reid himself had said so.
Orthman  Reidâs spokeswoman  said that Reid had told  Sbaih   he  should run for another office â instead of jumping straight into a highly competitive House race.

Answer: Nev. candidate says Reid urged him to quit because âa Muslim cannot win this race.â


Question: (CNN) This Tuesday  the GOP faces a defining moment. With Donald Trump in the White House and the possibility of  Roy Moore  in the Senate  the nation is watching closely to see whether the GOP is becoming the party of the GOB -- the good old boys.
While some Senate elections are just about the politics of a state   Moore 's victory would leave a huge imprint on the way that voters perceive the Republican Party for years to come. It could easily affect the 2018 and 2020 elections.
He has no respect for the separation between church and state.  Moore  was removed as chief justice when  he  refused to dismantle the Ten Commandments monument  he  had installed in the Alabama Judicial Building. Like President Trump   he  was one of the birthers who falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States  and thus his presidency was illegitimate.
In 2006   Moore  responded to the election of Keith Ellison  the first Muslim-American elected to Congress  by stating that Ellison shouldn't be able to take his seat.
During his campaign   Moore  has referred to Native Americans and Asian-Americans as "reds and yellows." And when an African-American at a rally asked when America was "great "  Moore  responded : "I think it was great at the time when families were united -- even though we had slavery -- they cared for one another. ... Our families were strong  our country had a direction."
 Moore  even said that 9/11 might have happened because Americans were not religious enough; God was unhappy that "we legitimize sodomy" and "legitimize abortion."
With Trump as President and  Moore  as a senator  Democrats would have a strong case to make about the GOP jumping deep into the world of identity politics: defining itself through one caricature version of the identity of the white  male  non-college educated voter.
It will become harder for members of the GOP to argue that the party is best suited to lead a nation that has become more pluralistic  more diverse and culturally liberal than ever before. If the Republicans want any moral high ground on cultural questions  it will be much more difficult to claim it with  Moore  as one of the faces of the party.
And it looks as though  Moore  is very much in the race despite everything that we have learned. Democratic competitor Doug Jones has only a slim lead over  Moore .
Why is it that  Moore  might pull this off? Why would the Republican Party be taking this kind of risk? It is easy to blame Jones for running a lackluster campaign  but  in fact  he has offered the kind of candidacy and campaign that political analysts have been calling for. He is a white male  a centrist concerned about a strong middle-class economy  a gun-toting Democrat  and at the same time someone with impeccable credentials on civil rights -- as a US attorney  he successfully prosecuted Ku Klux Klan members for a church bombing in 1963.

Though many prominent Republicans have denounced  Moore 's candidacy -- Sen. Jeff Flake even sent a check to the Jones campaign -- key parts of the Republican Party have fallen behind him. This is essential to why victory is possible. Most importantly  President Trump has now endorsed  Moore  . "Go get 'em  Roy!" he reportedly said at the end of their phone conversation on Monday morning.
Trump  who said he would not campaign for  Moore   held a rally in Florida -- less than 30 miles from the Alabama border -- on Friday. "The future of the country cannot afford to lose a seat in the very  very close United States Senate " Trump said during the rally. "We need somebody in that Senate seat who will vote for our Make America Great Again agenda. So get out and vote for  Roy Moore ."
Last Monday  the Republican National Committee rejoined Moore's campaign to move  him  toward victory after cutting ties with  him  because of the sexual assault accusations. Stephen Bannon  the executive chairman of Breitbart News  who now must be considered a power broker in the party as a result of his work on Trump's campaign and in his administration  has aggressively campaigned for  Moore  as one of his "anti-establishment" candidates.
The fact is that large portions of the Republican leadership are now comfortable with someone like  Moore  standing within their tent. It is fallacious to paint  him  as an outsider  since this campaign proves that the Republican Party has changed and there is sufficient room for these kinds of extremist elements to be welcomed into its ranks.
It is not surprising that the  Moore  campaign continues to remind voters  in its advertisements  about  Moore 's strong opposition to abortion -- a key issue for conservatives. The appeal to voters is that all his "peccadillos " as they seem to dismiss them as being  are forgivable if they allow Republicans to retain the seat. As Ron Brownstein has perceptively argued  a  Moore  victory would come down to  his  retaining the support of white women who have no college education and who will hold their noses and vote for  Moore  despite  his  record with women.

Question: Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour  says  he  will pay a fine after being arrested with a loaded handgun in  his  briefcase as  he  went through an airport security checkpoint.
Barbour -- Republican National Committee chairman in the mid-1990s and governor from 2004-12 -- told The Associated Press on Tuesday he was trying to board a flight Jan. 2 from  Jackson  to Washington. He said he forgot he was carrying the gun  which he had put in his briefcase after an assistant removed it from his car days earlier.
"This was absentmindedness and nobody's fault but mine " said  Barbour   70  who lives in Mississippi and frequently travels to Washington for  his  job as a lobbyist.
Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said a TSA officer working at an X-ray machine at a checkpoint at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport spotted a .38-caliber revolver  loaded with five bullets  in a passenger's carry-on bag. TSA contacted airport police  who arrested the passenger. The TSA would not release the passenger's name  but Farbstein confirmed it was a former governor  and  Barbour  confirmed to AP that it was he.
 Barbour  said  he  did not dispute Farbstein's use of the word "arrest " though  he  said  he  was not handcuffed and no mugshot photo was taken.  Barbour  described the TSA officers and the airport police as "very nice but very professional."
"They did exactly what they should have done  which was treat me like anybody else "  Barbour  said.
 Barbour  said the gun was confiscated and  he  boarded  his  flight to Washington.
"Next time  I'll be more observant about getting stuff out of my briefcase "  he  said.

Answer:
Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour arrested with gun at airport
