Aaron Mate : #AIPAC spends $8 million to defeat #CoriBush
Categories
Summary
➡ Cori Bush, a progressive Democrat who supported a ceasefire in Gaza, lost her Missouri primary race. A pro-Israel lobby group, APAC, spent $8 million to defeat her, similar to their previous efforts against Jamal Bowman. This raises questions about foreign interference in elections, as these two black progressive lawmakers were targeted for their stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza. Despite concerns about foreign interference, this practice seems to have become accepted and unchallenged.
Transcript
Look, we just got a new iteration of this subordination to a foreign country in a Missouri primary race, where Cori Bush, a progressive Democrat who was the first person to sponsor a ceasefire resolution for Gaza. She’s just been defeated. And, you know, people in her district have the criticisms of her. And this race wasn’t just about Israel-Palestine, but APAC, a pro-Israel lobby group, spent eight million dollars to defeat her. Eight million dollars. Democratic primary in the Midwest. Yeah, yeah. And this is after they spent millions of dollars to defeat Jamal Bowman. So now this is two black progressive lawmakers being defeated.
And what is the main source of their opposition? It’s a foreign lobby group spending millions of dollars to oust them, simply because they wanted to stop Israel’s mass murder campaign in Gaza. And does anybody question this foreign interference after, you know, years and years of hyperventilation about mythical Russian bots and Russian hackers interfering in our sacred elections? Does anybody from either party in the mainstream question this consistent interference on behalf of a foreign state? Nobody does, because it’s been totally normalized. And Netanyahu’s useful idiots comment, and now Cory Bush’s defeat are just the latest examples of that.
