Jim Moran has resigned as “regional whip.” His statement:
“I stepped down from my leadership position today as a way to demonstrate acceptance of my responsibility for insensitive remarks I recently made.”
“I will continue to reach out to the Jewish community and others who were offended by my remarks. And I will work tirelessly for all of my constituents in Northern Virginia, as I have done throughout my 13 years in Congress.”
“Most importantly, I will strive to learn from my mistakes and listen to the concerns of my constituents.”
