MicroWaveGOP goaded Jasmine Crockett into running for senate by promoting favorable polls: Report
s1ndr0m3I’m glad she is running. I think both Dem candidates are equally matched. A competitive primary might bring out more voters in the general.
I don’t know about Crockett. She’s taken money from AIPAC.
There’s a reason why the Republicans want her to be the Dem nominee.
She’s been good on some subjects, but there’s that nagging doubt.
If there were no better option then yes, vote for her. But there is a better option.
baronvonjI don’t know about Crockett. She’s taken money from AIPAC.
I keep seeing this claim but can’t find any source for it. I can find lots of links saying there is no evidence that she has. Like this
My understanding was no direct aipac but indirect. And she went on an Israel visit a few years back. She has also made multiple pro Israel statements including a denial of genocide and says Israel will always be funded by the u.s.
I see that https://www.trackaipac.com/ says she’s pro-Israel, but even they don’t indicate she’s received any money. I’m just saying if there’s no proof that she’s taken AIPAC money then stop using that as a talking point against her. Use her voting record and statements, things that are verifiable.

Yeah her voting record. She has always voted to send them money.
I’m actually a little more forgiving on that because most of those bills also included funds for other countries that really needed it. Like Haiti.
And the way it works is sometimes you have to compromise on one thing to get the thing you want. That’s “politics” … or at least how it’s been played here for a century.
But consistently always voting to send money to Israel plus making pro Israel statements certainly clarified any alternate motivation for her votes to send Israel money.
It wasn’t a compromise-situation.
