NEW: After Netanyahu's government was caught ordering a malign influence operation against US voters last week, WIRED began questioning US lawmakers about it. We've been stonewalled at every turn. The White House even denied having heard of it.
Jeffries is a turd and has been for years. Take it from this NY voter. I just know millions of idiots are going to think he's some kind of anti-MAGA hashtag resistance hero because he's pretty close to being speaker of the house. Wrongo, imagine all of Pelosi's cravenness but none of her skill
"Said a spokesperson for the National Security Council: “We take all allegations of foreign malign influence seriously.”"
This was, in their opinion, a benign influence, so they won't take it seriously.
big 'look if we officially know about it we have to be seen to doing something about it and that's the last thing we want to do jesus christ have you seen AIPACs budget' energy steaming off these people rn
Jeffries has taken $1,498,105 from AIPAC. You know he is going to dodge. He is working for a foreign government not the United States of America and her citizens.
More attention should be paid to the fact that Israeli intelligence made fake African American online accounts in the weeks BEFORE October 7, indicating Israel had planned at least attacks on Gaza and the occupied territories weeks before
The House Democratic leader was a top target of the Israeli campaign. His staff are ducking questions about whether he received notification from the US intelligence community, a standard practice. Jeffries has supported military aid for Israel & has invited Netanyahu to speak before Congress.
The DNC's use of a de facto seniority system is to blame for the calcification of the party, and the kowtowing to Israeli PR efforts is only one of many instances where natural growth in party politics would prevent philosophical stumbles such as this one.
Grateful that you guys are digging into this. It deserves far more attention than just the moment the story came out. There should be Congressional investigations/hearings. (And hopefully investigations by our intel agencies.)
