Not a surprising headline, I suppose. That AIPAC would go after House members Tlaib and Omar is par for the course. But they’ve also gone after Betty McCollum, Congresswoman from Minnesota.
And it’s not some mild criticism:
The attack ads — one of which featured photos of McCollum, Tlaib and Omar — linked to a petition that called the congresswomen “anti-Semitic,” and suggested that they were “maybe more sinister” than militant groups such as ISIS and Hezbollah.
“To see such a hate-filled personal attack was very shocking,” McCollum told +972 Magazine, in her first interview since the ads were published. “They’ve incited hate through their speech. And they’re trying, the best I can figure out, to intimidate and bully members of Congress from speaking out.”
Tlaib and Omar have enough to put up with from Republicans. These attack ads were actually produced by a Democratic Party-affiliated ad agency. It’s outrageous.
