Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding
The New York Democrat was asked on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” whether House Democrats would move to block a funding request if the White House were to ask for more money for the military.
Jeffries said the administration has so far “failed to make its case ... for this war of choice in the Middle East,” and unless President Donald Trump provides a “compelling rationale,” he’s “going to have a difficult case to make on Capitol Hill.”
On Sunday, Jeffries told “Meet the Press,” that Trump “of course, has a responsibility, first and foremost, to make his case to the American people, which he’s failed to do.”currently.att.yahoo.com - Hakeem jeffries wont commit blockingI don't hear an answer to the question about blocking funding for this made up war.
Why would answering that question about defunding a rogue POTUS be so difficult for him?
from the net sifter:
Hakeem Jeffries has received over $1.7 million from pro-Israel groups during his career (1990–2024), making him one of the top recipients of such donations in Congress. For the 2023-2024 cycle alone, he received over $1.15 million from the pro-Israel industry, identifying it as one of his largest donor industries.
Key Details on Contributions:
Total Career (1990–2024): Approximately $1,741.230 in contributions from pro-Israel, ranking him among the highest recipients.
2023-2024 Cycle: Pro-Israel industry contributed $1,159,599, including $18,000 from PACs.
Top Contributing Organizations: Major contributors have included Pro-Israel America PAC ($213,000 over time) and NorPAC.
Role and Alignment: Jeffries maintains close ties to AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobby groups, which have been a major source of funding, often placing behind only the financial sector or individual, non-industry donors. Not quite as blatant as Ted Cruz openly saying he ran for the Senate, to serve Israel, but you can't ignore that sort of money.
