…we have this little factoid – which, I assure you, neither Jerrold Nadler nor James Clyburn will make anything of.
From Juana Summers and Elana Shor’s article for the Associated Press:
Multiple Democratic presidential candidates said Thursday that they won’t attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference in Washington next week.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas, Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, are among the 2020 contenders who have decided not to attend. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is considering an independent bid for president, will also avoid the AIPAC conference.
It comes as the liberal advocacy group MoveOn has called on Democratic presidential candidates to skip this year’s policy conference…
Let me get this straight: President Trump – an avid supporter of Israel – is comparable to adolf hitler. But almost half the announced Democrat presidential candidates (with more to come, you can bet) announce they won’t have anything to do with the AIPAC conference, and their relationship with Jews is no problem at all.
To buy into this you would either have to be brain dead, or so zombified with hatred toward Donald Trump that facts and logic are irrelevant.
Are you? I hope, for your sake, the answer is no.
==============
UPDATE: It is now being reported that not one announced Democratic presidential candidate will attend the AIPAC conference. Not one. A clean sweep.
The disdain in which these people hold their Jewish voters is breathtaking. They obviously assume most of them will figure out a way to excuse/rationalize/ignore the AIPAC boycott away.
And, sadly, in the great majority of cases they will probably be right.
Many years ago, Ronald Reagan, originally a Democrat, famously explained his departure by saying “I didn’t leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me”.
When do American Jews, en masse, finally come to the same conclusion?
