AIPAC Halts Campaign Fundraising for Perry, Other GOP Members Who Voted Against Israel Aid

[Seoul Gleou]

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has pulled funding for the reelection campaign of Rep. Scott Perry (R-Cumberland/Dauphin/York) as well as 14 other Republican lawmakers over their vote against $14 billion in emergency military assistance to Israel.

The powerful and divisive Israel-U.S. lobby group is fighting back against these GOP legislators who promote themselves and frequently sound off against those who criticize the Jewish state.

According to FEC filings, AIPAC has already funneled $12,751 into Perry’s reelection campaign in the last four months, including a $5,000 donation just a month ago.

When purusing the AIPAC PAC’s website, donors have options of contributing a custom or a pre-set amount for their preferred candidate.

For the 15 lawmakers in question, which includes five U.S. senators and 10 House legislators – donors are unable to contribute any money.

The amount of influence AIPAC and other lobbies have on US politicians is it's basically legalized bribery

Not that I have any interest in any of these Rethugs getting reelected.

Its more like an open secret. The majority of Americans are completely ignorant to the political influence of groups like AIPAC. Most here don't even know if their state has anti-BDS laws.

I wouldn't even call it an open secret to be honest.

Sure, most Americans are willfully ignorant and/or indifferent, but there really isn't anything secret about it. Their "donations" are public information.

I forget the amount but they've committed a huge amount of money to fight any politicians that aren't on board

You are correct. What is an open secret is how lobbying groups actually draft legislation that the politicians they donate to present as a bill. Its not even limited to AIPAC, the Mulford Act in California (Gun control bill) was drafted by the NRA. Look at the TikTok Ban bill. It was presented by Mike Gallagher, whose biggest donor is AIPAC.
