Cassel switches to Republican

Florida Rep Cassel switched to being a Republican. The main reason was that the “Dems are not unequivically pro Israel enough”. WTAF! We are paying for veing too pro Israel AND not being oro Israel ENOUGH. We pay either way. Lose Lose. ☹️

One of the reasons it's said we lost the election was the Biden/Harris admin being to pro-Israel. IMO the rethugs' majority in the House is so narrow they made a deal to bump it up a bit with a POS with his hand out.

The politician may have changed their mind on whatever, but their voters may well not have. I'd be pissed.
