One of their latest. Trump just won’t give them what he wants no matter how much bullying they give him then call him a bully.
They look like a certified enabler of trouble.
Trump’s campaign is attacking us for calling on the Democratic presidential candidates to skip this year’s AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) conference—an event that will feature Benjamin Netanyahu, the corrupt, right-wing prime minister of Israel; a right-wing lobbying organization that champions him; and Mike Pence.
In 2015, while Barack Obama and MoveOn members joined forces to pass the historic Iran nuclear deal, Netanyahu gave a speech in front of Congress trying to get them to reject the deal. AIPAC also played a hand in spending tens of millions of dollars to block the Iran deal. Netanyahu and AIPAC tried to exploit partisan politics in America to undermine Obama’s historic Iran deal, but together, with President Obama, we successfully defended a diplomatic agreement that helped keep the U.S. off a path to war with Iran. (Trump has since eviscerated the agreement.)
Now, over 74% of MoveOn members who took our recent poll agreed that any progressive candidate vying to be the Democratic nominee for president should skip the AIPAC conference. The conference, you guessed it, seeks to shred the historic Iran nuclear diplomatic deal we fought so hard for—and to deny the basic human rights of Palestinians.
And Democratic candidates are listening. Just today, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O’Rourke, Julián Castro, and Pete Buttigieg, as of this writing, have all said they won’t attend the AIPAC conference—which may be in part why Trump’s attack dogs and other right-wing groups are going on the offense against MoveOn.
