Moran, who serves as a whip on the House Democrats' leadership team, is very controversial for his history of making [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitic]] remarks. In early March of 2003, he singled out Jews as the reason behind attempting to topple [[Saddam Hussein]]'s regime in Iraq: "''If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this [[war with Iraq]] we would not be doing this''," he [Moran] said at the event, organized by the Greater Reston Interfaith Peace Coalition, according the Reston Connection newspaper. "''The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going, and I think they should.''" <ref>"White House, Democrats Rip Moran for Offending Jews," Stephen Dinan, ''The Washington Times'', Mar. 12, 2003.</ref>
