AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group, is under scrutiny for its political influence. Various politicians, including Bernie Sanders and AOC, have criticized AIPAC for allegedly supporting right-wing Republicans and spending significant amounts against progressive Democrats. Contradictory claims have emerged about AIPAC's funding sources and political leanings.
Bernie, this just isn't true. By a large margin, AIPAC donates more money to Democrats. https://t.co/rHuye3aC9Q
AIPAC funds more Democrats than Republicans, Jamaal. You might want to try a different talking point. https://t.co/gR7pYHXYrF
AIPAC has already spent nearly $20 million through its super PAC, United Democracy Project, on defeating progressive House Democrats who have been critical of the way that Israel has carried out its Gaza military campaign. https://t.co/o0XAI25seX
Jamaal, the majority of AIPAC money goes to Democrats. https://t.co/bRdHIHoIwW
AIPAC, funded by right-wing billionaires, supports extremist Republican candidates. They will spend $100m against progressives this year, including $25m against @JamaalBowmanNY. Democrats must unite against this Super PAC. I look forward to joining Jamaal & @AOC in New York. https://t.co/1XBjKneWkt
The amount of total bullshit you guys put out there about AIPAC—an org run largely by Democrats, for Democrats—is wild. Your followers might not be aware that AIPAC is funded and run completely by **Americans** who care about the US-Israel relationship, not Israelis. Since you… https://t.co/1fUG90jBku
It's not just AIPAC https://t.co/JvcOeXLx74
Hmm it’s almost like AIPAC functions as a political slush fund for Republican billionaires and should not have influence in the Democratic Party, let alone our primaries https://t.co/BEsWCtTLXB
