I can’t support any politician that takes AIPAC money/trips
For Democrats to be going on this trip funded and led around by an organisation that is fundamentally opposed to the policies of their president and their party – and which attacks the colleagues of the people on the trip very, very directly – is absurd. You’re seeing more and more Democrats saying, ‘You shouldn’t be doing that,’” he said.
Justice Democrats, which helped fund election campaigns for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the “Squad” critical of Israeli policies, asked why the party was working with Aipac when it endorsed the re-election campaigns of more than 100 Republican members of Congress who tried to block Joe Biden’s presidential victory.
“It is a failure of Democratic leadership to continue working in any capacity with Aipac,” said Justice Democrats spokesperson Usamah Andrabi.
“Every Democratic member who went on this trip is endorsing Aipac’s rightwing primary challenges to their colleagues, the over 100 Republicans who voted to overturn the election, and the Israeli government’s brutal apartheid regime.”
It’s bad when Republicans do it, it’s still bad when Dems do it.
It’s not a high bar for standards.
Taking bribes from a foreign government is disqualifying to me.
The only reason that AIPAC doesn’t have to register as a foreign agent, is the people who decide that take AIPAC money.
Like, is your problem with trump taking Russian money that Biden didn’t get any?
A foreign country has bought both political parties and there are real world consequences happening right now.
But it’s a “purity test” to talk about it?
My problem is no one is clean and I order to get anything done, you have to get dirty.
Enough resign to make Jeffires speaker on Oct 25th. Start running campaign ads on Oct 26th saying “The house has been so dysfunctional because democrats are in charge - vote for a change, vote to put republicans back in charge of the house!”
