A more-out-of-touch-than-usual Jewish News of Northern California: "McKinney loss not blamed on Jews — for a change"

What they seem to mean by "not blamed on the Jews" is that her defeat was not actually caused by Jews. Here is a key paragraph:
“The Jews did not make it happen this time. It was the Georgians,” said Oppenheimer, a pro-Israel activist who helped fund Johnson’s campaign, and had helped fund past McKinney opponents as well. “She was a poor representative, she was totally marginalized in Washington, she did not add anything of significance to the discussion and did not bring home the bacon.”
McKinney's loss was certainly blamed on the Jews by her supporters, however.
