In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sen. George Allen (R-VA) discussed the recent conversation with his mother in which he learned that she had concealed her Jewish upbringing.

"Ma, this just doesn't matter, you know, the Nazis are gone," he recounted.

Sen. Allen said that while "fighting against anti-Semitism and intolerance" is nothing new for him, "now it's personal."

The more he makes a big deal out of this, the more uncomfortable he looks.
