Giffords “is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group’s ideology when it came to immigration debate,” the note said.

This is, of course, incorrect.

First, Giffords, whose father is Jewish, is not technically Jewish. Giffords apparently decided to be Jewish about 10 years ago but did not convert.

Second, there have been a number of actually Jewish females elected to the House of Representatives, at least as far back as Florence Kahn of California in the 1920s.
