CANTON, Ohio A former top Romanian spy who defected to the United States in the 1970s has endorsed a U.S. House candidate in the closely watched race for Ohio's 16th Congressional District.
Ion Mihai "Mike" Pacepa, now an American citizen, is backing conservative Republican Paul Schiffer because he believes Democrats are turning America into a socialist dictatorship like the one he escaped. Pacepa's longtime translator, Wayne Barnes, confirmed the endorsement after Schiffer's campaign released it.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five
members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron
Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-
CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the
convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic
hardship imposed by the deepening recession, the growing inequality brought
about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time.
Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY),
Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney
Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler
(D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John
Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
Just kidding BOR...
Good times for commies coming to an end.
Pacepa's longtime translator, Wayne Barnes, confirmed the endorsement after Schiffer's campaign released it.This guy has been here sine the 1970s, is a US citizen and still needs a translator? Why is that? I have Romanian friends who have been here around five years and they speak great English.
I don't know about Romania, but in other non-English speaking European countries, finding someone who speaks English is not such a hard task.
Heck, you can find garbage men in those countries speaking some English, so it's surprising that someone who is living in America for this length of time, and is a former spy doesn't speak English.
People of the Eastern block Know em when they see them!!!
