Financial backers of Biden's primary challenger ask him to return their donations

*Snip*

Vance Opperman, a Democratic Party fundraiser who Twin Cities Business magazine called “the ultimate influencer” in Minnesota, told CNBC in an interview that he texted Phillips and requested that his past donations to the congressional campaign not to be used in his run against Biden. Opperman said Phillips told him his contributions would not be used for the primary run versus Biden.

Opperman said that after it become evident earlier this year that Phillips was at least considering running for president, he was forced to cancel a September fundraising event for the Minnesota’s congressman’s reelection campaign. He said almost half of the 20 invitees had canceled their planned attendance.

*Snip*

Opperman has been a Biden ally for years and said he helped organize a fundraiser for the president’s campaign in Minnesota that took place after Phillips announced his run for president.

Opperman said that after it become evident earlier this year that Phillips was at least considering running for president, he was forced to cancel a September fundraising event for the Minnesota’s congressman’s reelection campaign. He said almost half of the 20 invitees had canceled their planned attendance.

But it’s not just Opperman who doesn’t want to help Phillips with his latest political effort.

Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank strongly support Hamas, October 7 attack

After Hamas’ devastating October 7 massacre in which some 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were murdered, the globe was divided into people able to condemn the attack and people perceiving the terrorists as "freedom fighters."

Palestinian society seems much less divided on the issue compared to the rest of the world, according to a November 14 poll by the Arab World for Research and Development. When asked the leading question “How much do you support the military operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance led by Hamas on October 7?” Palestinian responses showed support for the attack.

Palestinians living in the West Bank overwhelmingly answered that they supported the attack to either an extreme or “somewhat” extent (83.1%.) Only 6.9% answered that they were “extremely” or “somewhat” against the attack, and 8.4% expressed that they had no opinion either way.

So Fuck them.

TY for the link, TexasDem
