'I Don't Give a F*ck About AIPAC,' Says Mark Pocan | Common Dreams

"It's time to call them out for what they are—a front group for conservative policy here in the U.S.—instead of being afraid of them."

Progressive U.S. Congressman Mark Pocan pulled no punches in an interview published Monday by Slate, addressing his ongoing feud with the influential lobby group American Israel Public Affairs Committee—a fervent booster of Israel's bloody bombardment of Gaza and a top contributor to the campaign coffers of Democrats and Republicans alike.

"I don't give a fukk about AIPAC—period," Pocan (D-Wis.) told Slatepolitics writer Alexander Sammon. "I think they're a cancerous presence on our democracy and politics in general, and if I can be a surgeon, that's great."

"The reason I'm poking the bear is because they've become a Trojan bear," Pocan explained. "AIPAC at least pretended to be bipartisan when I first got [to Congress]. Now they're basically a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOP."

"It's time to call them out for what they are—a front group for conservative policy here in the U.S.—instead of being afraid of them," he added.

The French don't have this amount of influence with DC, and they fought with us in the Revolution. The sheer amount of blind support from this country is the cause of most of the foreign policy threats out there.

Pocan can thump his chest because his district is Madison, WI. Teflon

Not a coincidence that Epstein and Maxwell both have connections to their government, as did her dad who was buried as a spy for them.

That's been the problem. In the past, any time someone talked shyt on AIPAC they'd flood their opponent with money. Ask Cynthia McKinney. It took the modern media era when you can't just pay off 3-4 news network execs to skew the headlines.
