Dem congressman tells Arab TV that GOP won the House due to Americans’ racism. On a post-State of the Union speech TV interview with, of all outlets, an Arab television station, Democrat Jim Moran of Virginia weighed in on why he thought the GOP did so well.

But it also generated a backlash. Islamic...
