Only there isn't actual evidence they have done so.You'd think that it should be big news that a foreign lobbying group, AIPAC, wants to buy their own candidate.
Except for the tweet above.Only there isn't actual evidence they have done so.
"One issue" donors don't need to own anything but support on their one issue. It's pathetic...Except for the tweet above.
I know, you will say donating $20 million doesn't mean they will 'own' the candidate and of course, technically you are correct.
That they could have just been spending that much to make sure that Omar wasn't reelected and that they would have had no expectations that the $20 million might influence their views on genocide and apartheid.
And in that trump/ray cohn/ mob mentality you would be correct, there would be no way to definitely prove such a thing.
But you'd also have to be naive to expect that the $20 million was totally strings free.
But they're Jews so Franky is convinced it must be an Israeli plot. AIPAC must be working for Israel because Jews must not be loyal to their own country and it can't be possible that some Americans are simply lobbying for policies they want America to have.Only there isn't actual evidence they have done so.
The guy who rejects mainstream news stories as propaganda thinks a tweet is proof. No surprise.Except for the tweet above.
...
Most progressives wanting to see human rights improve in the region would be happy that Netanyahu has become toxic and will likely be tossed out on his as but Franky sees it as yet another reason to to demonize Israel.
A donor offered it.Except for the tweet above.

I didn't even bother getting into the "AIPAC should have to register with FARA" thing.But they're Jews so Franky is convinced it must be an Israeli plot. AIPAC must be working for Israel because Jews must not be loyal to their own country and it can't be possible that some Americans are simply lobbying for policies they want America to have.
And another case where a right wing anti-semitic conspiracy theory gets endorsed by Frank if they simply use the word "Israel".
AIPAC should be labelled as foreign lobbyists.But they're Jews so Franky is convinced it must be an Israeli plot. AIPAC must be working for Israel because Jews must not be loyal to their own country and it can't be possible that some Americans are simply lobbying for policies they want America to have.

Are you claiming Nasser Beydoun is lying?The guy who rejects mainstream news stories as propaganda thinks a tweet is proof. No surprise.
Two people were offered money they say came from AIPAC to run against Tlaib.A donor offered it.
That isn't AIPAC.
He may be a donor to AIPAC and have similar goals, but you framing it as AIPAC tried to buy a politician, shouldn't that be a bigger deal is forgetting that individual mega-rich donors offering to bankroll candidates is common in the US system.
It's fucked up, but there isn't "more interest" because "rich guy offers a candidate lots of money" is a dog bites man story.
