Discussion on Political Influence and Anti-Semitism
say a word about that because we've talked about this before
and I speak as you know as the son of a Jewish refugee
so issues of anti-semitism are very personal to me.
I think that what you see in Michigan is
a interest group spending 30 million dollars.
She's got 64 million dollars
in and they've done they're responsible for at least half of that
and one of the issues as Kristen mentioned that people are grappling with
is the power of money in our politics the influence that interest groups
have and I think it's a legitimate it's a legitimate question
should a should essentially an agent of any foreign government
whether it's Israel or any other be able to spend or is it healthy
for them to spend 30 million dollars in a race like this
influence The outcome of that race.
I think that's that's a legitimate issue.
Look at it.
Well, I mean I Get your point.
I don't think that they're an agent before in power I think
they're American Jesus. You said their mission is to support the policies of the Israeli government
Well, I think their issue is to protect Israel, but yeah
No, but then we read what I'm happy to be corrected by you
But I'm gonna make my own point,
which is that why is a pack going after this guy?
That would be the question.
They're spending what you said 30 million dollars.
That's a lot of money Is it
because he's a Muslim guy is it because he's a hateful guy it turns out?
His position is for a full military Embargo of the state of Israel now,
I'll say a full military embargo now Listen, he
says he wants to condition a that's reasonable defensible
Most Democrats feel that way at this point
after Gaza if he says no subsidies as defensible
He says we can't even sell weapons to Israel
even their defensive So if this guy,
so why is Apex so mad?
This guy is saying that the United States government can't even sell defensive weapons to Israel,
which would make Israel completely defenseless. Now that would be a reason
for a group of people who cares about Israelis to say this is not our guy.
