Norton Mezvinsky: Chelsea Clinton’s LaRouchite Uncle

New York Daily News

Today at American Thinker, Asaf Romirowsky and I expose the ties between Norton Mezvinsky, a Middle East specialist who recently retired from Central Connecticut State University, and Lyndon LaRouche, the serial conspiracy theorist and presidential candidate. Mezvinsky, who will today become the uncle of Chelsea Clinton, won’t be at the wedding in Upstate New York:

Norton Mezvinsky told the New York Daily News this week that he wasn’t invited to the wedding because of a family feud with his nephew that stemmed from his support for his disgraced brother, former Iowa Representative Edward Mezvinsky, whose plans to move to New York and write a book after his release from prison were opposed by nephew Marc.

But there’s another reason the Clintons might want to keep the Mezvinsky -- who says he’s the “senior male member of the family, and Marc’s only uncle” -- well away from Rhinebeck on Saturday: Mezvinsky’s ties to the conspiracy mongering anti-Semite Lyndon LaRouche.
