They were the reason for the comment in the first place but no one seems to want to talk about that. Unconstitutional discriminatory conditional employment clauses being pushed in every red state in the country and in Washington. Even Schumer has caved to this bullshit. It's freaking disgusting what AIPAC is getting away with - no different than ALEC or the Kochs.
