It's insane that multiple sitting senators are going after Hasan using a made up, right-wing smear. El Sayed's opponent is a Trump loyalist and a monster. It shows where the priorities are. Hasan isn't even the one running for fucking office. Meanwhile, the future speaker of the house is meeting with Trump's fucking son-in-law to find "common ground." They also gave a Zionist a spot on the foreign affairs committee, signaling that the party is still pro-genocide.
The midterm elections are months away and democratic leadership is demonstrating, once again, that they'd rather cooperate with fascists than fight them. I don't know how many signs there have to be for people to realize that the people who accept millions from the same far-right donors are, in fact, working against us. It's so clear that Schumer and Jeffries are throwing this thing and HAVE been throwing it for years now. They do not give a fuck if they fail in November. But yeah, the twitch streamer who is canvassing for candidates and galvanizing the youth vote is the problem lmao.
The icing on the cake is that what Hasan said is true, no matter how uncomfortable of a fact it is. The conflation of Judaism with the ongoing atrocities committed in the name of Zionism is dangerous for all Jews. And all the people condemning Hasan over that statement are perpetuating that danger. Jews are not a monolith and Israel does not speak on their behalf.
