"Statement by 6th Congressional District Candidate Jim Graves on Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's Attack on State Department Official Huma Abedin Sixth Congressional District candidate Jim Graves released the following statement regarding Rep. Bachmann's recent accusation that Huma Abedin, a top aide to the Secretary of State, and other US officials are complicit in a grand scheme to institute Sharia law here in America. ""These are very serious and potentially damaging allegations—and they are based on nothing but conjecture and wild conspiracy theories. I agree with Republican Sen. John McCain, who took to the Senate floor Wednesday to denounce Rep. Bachmann's actions. Rep. Bachmann's very own former presidential campaign chief, Edward Rollins, has called her allegation ""outrageous and false."""" ""At a time when our leaders should be focusing on the economic hardships facing Minnesota families, Rep. Bachmann is only interested in using fear to gain publicity for herself. Her destructive form of politics has divided our country and weakened our ability to take on the real challenge we need to address—getting people back to work."" Jim Graves for Congress"
