Ted Sorenson's Chutzpah

From here:-

In your only attempt at elected office, you ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1970, out of New York, for R.F.K.’s unfinished term.

Oh, you had to bring that up. I had the chutzpah to think that I could run in a state where I had lived for only a few years.

You grew up in Lincoln, Neb., the son of a Unitarian lawyer of Danish lineage and a mother of Russian-Jewish descent. What religion are you?

Your Jewish mother would note that under Jewish law I am Jewish, but I consider myself Unitarian
.

Notice his own chutzpah? "Your Jewish mother".

His questioner was Deborah Solomon. Jewish. And his Jewish mother wouldn't consider him Jewish? All his antisemitic colleagues didn't consider him Jewish?
