A series of coordinated attacks against President Biden and his judicial nominee, Adeel Mangi, have surfaced, highlighting a complex web of political and ideological battles within the administration and among its critics. A number of administration staffers are reportedly pushing for a more anti-Israel policy, using leaks about the Hur investigation to undermine Biden. Concurrently, a dark money group has launched an Islamophobic ad campaign against Mangi, falsely accusing him of being anti-Semitic and having ties to terrorists. Critics, including Senator Cory Booker, have condemned these attacks as 'disgusting'. The White House has criticized three Republican senators for their Islamophobic attacks on Mangi, who would be the first Muslim American federal appeals court judge if confirmed. These events underscore the deep divisions and the use of Islamophobia and antisemitism in political maneuvering. Reports suggest that the leaks and the negative coverage of Biden and Senator Bob Menendez are orchestrated by the same sources, driven by a desire for a more anti-Israel policy.
There’s a short window for @KenDilanianNBC to become as famous as Woodward & Bernstein & blow the whistle on this cabal. When Trump was their target, he had no career incentive to do it. But with regime media types still embarrassingly defending Biden, Dilanian can play the hero. https://t.co/slsIuXo2ub
What isn’t clear to me is this: Does @KenDilanianNBC even KNOW he’s sitting on a massive scoop? His sources are working to destroy Biden’s presidency from within, & their motivations are treasonous for multiple reasons. You don’t have to support Biden to see this is a big deal. https://t.co/3CG8OyDi7b
The long-held suspicion that @KenDilanianNBC was on the FusionGPS payroll & he promoted lots of Russiagate nonsense was always assumed to be because he was just another anti-Trump mouthpiece. But these anti-Biden & Menendez pieces suggest something else is at play… https://t.co/3wFjN1ycJY
It’s important to understand that there is no FOMO like antisemitic FOMO. It’s even strong enough to encourage Dems working in this administration to embarrass Biden & one of their own senators whom they believe aren’t sufficiently anti-Israel or pro-Iran. https://t.co/yk9B100VqG
Here’s the withering piece by @KenDilanianNBC on @BobMenendezNJ from last Sept. Whether he realizes it or not, Dilanian’s sources on the & the Biden/Hur stories are the same, & they have the same antagonism toward Israel: https://t.co/QLVUL8KNuo
Here’s the withering piece by @KenDilanianNBC on @BobMenendezNJ from last Sept. Whether he realizes it or not, Dilanusn’s sources on the & the Biden/Hur stories are the same, & they have the same antagonism toward Israel: https://t.co/QLVUL8KNuo
Again, people who correctly surmise that there is a faction in the WH set on dumping Biden are getting the reason why they want him out wrong. They don’t fear losing to Trump; they desire an even MORE anti-Israel policy. https://t.co/pREl3mFEzj
Support for Israel (or perceived support for Israel… as @bhweingarten proved, Biden is NOT a good friend to Israel) & opposition to Iran are the 2 things that get elected Dems in trouble. That’s why these stories about Biden & Hur are getting leaked to @KenDilanianNBC https://t.co/QkvKZPNBv3
Look at @KenDilanianNBC timeline & pieces & it’s clear his sources see him as a key tool to leak unfavorable stories about Biden. He’s also out front on stories unfavorable to @BobMenendezNJ . Both Biden & Menendez are seen by regressive Dems as not being anti-Israel enough.
The talkers are out & Team Biden is spending their political capital defending judicial nominee Adeel Mangi. Mangi has ties to 9/11 hijacker sympathizers, was a board member of an organization that amplified antisemitism & spread terrorist propaganda. But Biden’s allies are… https://t.co/eZfuMhFLX4
The White House is criticising three Republican senators for their Islamophobic attacks directed at circuit court nominee Adeel Mangi, who if confirmed, would be the first Muslim American to sit on the federal appeals court. https://t.co/IJ7uJlm2v3
New JCN Ad Accuses Biden Judicial Nominee Adeel Mangi of Being an ‘Antisemite’ https://t.co/lnFs1ryMh5
This is absolutely disgusting: Right-wing dark money groups are weaponizing real Jewish fear and false smears of antisemitism to launch Islamophobic attacks against Adeel Mangi — who would be the first Muslim American appeals court judge. Not in our name. https://t.co/3A6nmGB9dq
But no matter how much of a problem Biden is for Israel, it’s clear much of the WH wants him or a replacement to be much MORE anti-Israel. BTW, These are the people leaking the stories about his conduct with Hur & trotting him out before the cameras at night. https://t.co/SSbggzopx7
To think, the Biden White House is using what limited resources they have to defend a guy who refuses to say the 9/11 terrorist attack was a bad thing and who was involved in an event where panelists included folks who provided support for terrorism and who called for an intifada…
NEW: A dark money group has launched a wildly Islamophobic ad campaign against Biden's Muslim judicial nominee, Adeel Mangi. It baselessly accuses Mangi of being anti-semitic and having ties to terrorists. "Disgusting," Sen. Cory Booker told HuffPost. https://t.co/K94nRCS54L
No, a number of administration staffers are pushing for a much more anti-Israel policy. They’re hoping to achieve that by leaking these details about the Hur investigation & showing they can bring Biden down by trotting him on TV at night as they did last week. https://t.co/4m7NMSkSEc
