Which was one of their many terrible decisions, but that doesn't mean...
...every politician is completely beholden to those they receive money from.
What Jeffries receives from the AIPAC PAC is miniscule. What he receives from its individual members -- many of which are his constituents, I'm sure -- is still just a small portion (less than 5%) of his total campaign contributions.
Fact of the matter is that Jeffries represents one of the most Jewish districts in the nation. Often he is going to vote for pro-Jewish measures because of this. You could take away every single dollar tied back to AIPAC and I doubt many -- if any -- of his positions would change because ultimately he is beholden to his VOTERS.
