Democrats Buttigieg, Klobuchar latest to skip AIPAC conference
|
[IsraelTimes] Two leading Democratic presidential hopefuls said Wednesday that they would not attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) upcoming conference, shrinking the list of potential 2020 Democrats to show up as the pro-Israel lobby tries to maintain its bipartisan identity.
Former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg
...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country...
and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar

Senatrix from Minnesota, candidate for the Dem presidential 2020 nomination. You can tell the kind of husband a boy will make by the way he treats his mother. You can tell the kind of leader a politician will make by the way he treats his staff. Klobuchar is reportedly overbearing, snide, and dictatorial with her people. She see this as merely getting the best from them. Her name spelled backward in the Russian alphabet would be "Rachubolk," which sounds pretty daggone suspicious...
each said they would miss the annual confab, which takes place in Washington, DC on March 1-4.
Their announcements come after Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
tweeted on Sunday that he would skip the conference because he was "concerned about the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Paleostinian rights."
In recent months, left-wing organizations such as MoveOn, Indivisible, the Working Families Party and IfNotNow have been pressuring the Democratic candidates to skip the AIPAC conference, waging an online campaign with the hashtag "#SkipAIPAC."
In a bid to display its bipartisan bonafides in the wake of the Sanders controversy, AIPAC announced Monday a number of Democratic speakers, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 44.22994 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, chair of the US House Democratic Caucus and one of the House managers in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
Former New York City mayor Michael Nanny Mike Bloomberg
 ...former Republican mayor of New York. He tried to take the credit for Rudy Giuliani's actions in the wake of the 9-11 attacks. He was known as Nanny Bloomberg for his war on 32-ounce Slurpees. Nanny is a candidate for the Dem presidential nomination in 2020. He was born on Valentine's day, 1942, which makes him 77.96038 years old, which is pretty ripe. Mike has lots of money, some of which he spends on grass roots organizations pushing for common sense gun laws along the same lines as his common sense Slurpee laws....
will also address the thousands gathered in the nation’s capital. He is, thus far, the only Democratic presidential candidate committed to the event.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
has already said she would not be attending.
The confab will include several members of the Trump administration, including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
Tuesday night’s Democratic debate reveals some of the fault lines between the candidates vis-à-vis Israel policy. While Sanders said he would consider moving the US embassy from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv, Bloomberg said he wouldn’t.
"You can’t move the embassy back," Bloomberg said. "We should not have done it without getting something from the Israeli government, but it was done and you’re going to have to leave it there."
Warren, for her part, said Israelis and Paleostinians should determine their capitals through negotiations ‐ and criticized Trump for favoring Israel.
