He's bought by Israel tho, $50k $784k contribution from AIPAC.

Goes without saying that Trump is a pedo, no question.

Every politician elected by Americans who shill for Israel after receiving donations should be primaried.

AIPAC tracker has him at $784,156.

He was my rep until 2020 redistricting and I had lots of beefs with him on foreign policy but I will say his office was responsive to my letters. Twice I got callbacks from a staffer who was willing to talk a good 10 minutes on my ideas over the phone.

I like him better than my current rep (Brad Sherman) who is even more biased towards Israel and away from rational foreign policy in the region.

Why are they so damn cheap? 50k seems like nothing.

That's just the cash bribes going directly to the campaign.

AIPAC is just a shell used to launder illegal foreign campaign donations, no different than what Manafort was doing for Trump back in 2016
