    1. ummm “First off all, there are tons of lobbies and foreign interests that pay us money to do their bidding” isnt the best defense

      Okay let’s not single out AIPAC

      Let’s go after all the bad money in politics, including AIPAC, and overturn citizens united

      And how many of those foreign interests are currently engaged in an active genocide?

      Cory loves a good display of political theater but doesn’t actually have any values.

    5. As a liberal who generally supports Democratic politicians, I’d like to extend a personal, “Fuck you” to Cory Booker. I would LOVE to see establishment Democrats get crushed by progressives in 2026 and 2028. Not likely to happen, but it would be nice.

    6. Say I’m running for President and I want their money without saying and I want their money I running for President

    7. I’m constantly amazed at how cheaply all these people are bought.

      Have some fucking respect for yourself.

    8. Because y’all are dumb. You’re telling me AIPAC can put some money into anyone’s campaign and you’ll vote against them?

      Really wish there was a viable candidate challenging him in the primary i could vote for. I like him better than anyone on the Republican side, but im still not happy voting for him again in November

    10. Any politician taking money from AIPAC or AIPAC affiliates HAS NO BUSINESS serving in public office in the US. Cory Booker needs to be voted out.

      Every bad faith Democrat (Booker, Newsom) “what is it about AIPAC? I wonder…”

      It’s a lobbying group by a foreign government. They bribe politicians and fix elections to further the interests of a genocidal ethnostate.

      This largely isn’t true, lobbyists typically fund candidates that already agree with their particular ideology rather than funding them and then cashing that in later for votes on bills that cut against their stated legislative agenda. As well to my knowledge there is no evidence of lobbyists successfully pushing for candidates to pass laws that are unpopular with constituents. To be clear I’m not saying there is no problems with lobbying just that more often than not American voters simply don’t care enough or don’t know enough to vote for their their own interests

      To address AIPAC specifically they donate to a LOT of politicians and groups and they have the luxury of being able to do so because Isreal remains popular amongst older Americans which are a core voting base for both parties. So yes, all things considered it is kind of strange to be singling out AIPAC especially given the rising tide of antisemitism.

      Cory Booker, Eric Adams, Hakeem Jeffries, and Tim Scott make me so fucking sick. Black men who are all just different flavors of the same zionist garbage.

    14. The extra annoying thing about someone like CB defending AIPAC is he doesn’t need AIPAC.

    15. this is one of those situations where i remember reading something and realizing how differently people frame the same thing depending on what side they’re on 😭

      i am glad that black people aren’t falling for the performative politics of booker and jeffries. i wish their was a black progressive we could get in those seats but does representation matter if the person wearing the boot is black? booker, jeffries, clyburn, they give you handouts so you are needing them instead of creating the institutions in which you wouldn’t need handouts from these types, all while they enrich themselves and their kids and pass off those congressional seats as an inheritance.

      ….so I guess we gotta wait until 2028 to get this nigga tf up outta here huh

      I think the, “Singling out of AIPAC,” is a concern that there’s a seam of anti-semitism in criticism of AIPAC as though it’s part of some outsized influence campaign tied into conspiracies.

      That being said: fuck Cory Booker and fuck AIPAC.

      if booker wants us to scrutinize the other places he gets money from, we can do that too
