Israel-hating Dems beg Jeffries to protect them from AIPAC-backed primary challengers
November 17, 2023 | Chris Donaldson Left-wing Democrats who are jittery that their Jew-hating rhetoric will put them at risk of losing their cushy positions are begging the party’s House leadership to protect them.
According to Politico, members of the mouthy pack of pro-Hamas lawmakers known as “The Squad” are seeking help from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to back down the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) from backing challengers in their districts next year.
The outlet reported that a trio of leftists from the Progressive Caucus’s PAC met with Jeffries and Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), who heads up the campaign arm for House Democrats in a closed-door meeting at party headquarters to enlist his help against AIPAC.
“If we have to spend a lot of money to keep our incumbents in office, then that’s less money that gets spent on frontline districts and districts we can pick up, so it is a real problem,” the outlet quoted Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) who ran into trouble this summer when she trashed the Jewish nation as a “racist state” at a progressive conference.
