I reached out to spokespeople for all 22 Democrats Monday morning with a simple inquiry: I wanted to know if they planned to make a statement or take any sort of action—like a censure—against Rep. Walberg for his call for the destruction of Gaza.
Only three offices responded.
“Deranged and depraved,” Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York said through his press secretary, which was surprising given Torres’ aggressive and unapologeticsupport for Israel. (He’s literally in Israel right now.) I followed up, pointing out Torres’ vote to censure Tlaib and asking if he thought Rep. Walberg’s comments were on the same level. His press secretary said yes. When I pressed further, asking if Torres planned to call for a vote to censure, I received no reply.
They’re all taking the same AIPAC money Torres is. Democrats are filthy hypocrites.
*Some democrats
*Some including the president of the United States.

Yeah Bernie is all about the AIPAC money I guess
No but it’s been pretty clear he’s falling in line with the rest of the party.
