Last June, local prosecutor Wesley Bell called Rep. Cori Bush to assure her that under no circumstances would he be running against her, according to audio of a phone call between Bell and Bush obtained by Drop Site News.
A few months later, he launched his primary challenge against Bush for the Missouri House seat after being recruited by AIPAC.

Citizens United is the cause of our lobby issues generally, yes, but the Democrats are still responsible for allowing their members to take AIPAC money.
They stopped members taking NRA money when the NRA was trying to play bothsides, they can do it with Israeli money too. Swearing off money from AIPAC and other Israeli groups should be a requirement to run in the party.

Yeah, the lobbyists have power in and against both major parties. There’s nothing wrong with being critical thinking oriented… but that’s exactly what’s being suppressed by that movement. I hope ppl start realising it isn’t about what they’re being fed to believe pertaining to Israeli policy.
