(54,515 posts)9. AIPAC is NOT a Dem ally
AIPAC endorses dozens of Republicans who refused to certify Bidens election
(Including Gym 'the paedo enabler' Jordan, ultra MAGAette cheerleader Elise Stefanik, the worm of worms Kevin McCarthy, the crazed gunhumper Greg Steube, Ronny 'Trump's drunk Dr Feelgood' Jackson, Joe 'you lie!' Wilson, John 'I am a racist, climate change denying MAGAt, but Henry Cuellar campaigns and fundraises for me so it's all good' Carter, Troy 'make shit up about being threatened, get caught, and then distract by trying to get Biden 25th Amendment'ed' Nehls, etc etc)

AIPACs new political action committee announces its first string of Congressional endorsements. They are 120 lawmakers from both parties, but also includes 37 Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results after the January 6 insurrection drawing criticism from rival lobby J Street.
AIPACs support for these candidates endangers American democracy and undermines the true interests and values of millions of American Jews and pro-Israel Americans who they often claim to represent, says Laura Birnbaum, J Streets National Political Director.
Claims of bipartisanship cannot excuse support for candidates who only respect election results when their party wins, the group adds.
Responding to the criticism, AIPAC spokesman Marshall Wittmann says, as a single-issue organization, we remain focused on our mission of building bipartisan support in Congress to strengthen the US-Israel relationship.
