- AIPAC made last-minute donations to Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers, prompting an online feud with Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday.
- Bernie Sanders said AIPAC was spending as much as $9 million against Abdul El-Sayed and charged, “AIPAC is why we’re at war in Iran.”
Why it matters: The exchange puts AIPAC’s support for Rogers and its spending against El-Sayed under direct scrutiny from Sanders, who also alleges the PAC bears responsibility for the Iran war. The material change is rhetorical: a campaign donation dispute becomes a foreign-policy accountability charge.
