43. This is an "outrageous attack"?

“'I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying,' Auchincloss told CNN Monday. 'I think that it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to think that Graham Platner’s brand of the Democratic Party is what wins us durable majorities throughout this country...'”

That's an "opinion." That's allowed in the US.

This is an attack: "Auchincloss’s outrageous attack (sic) on Platner sure looks like a doubling down on his bid for the AIPAC vote."

Sure looks like it!

Just like Platner's Nazi tattoo sure looks like a Nazi tattoo! And his sickening comments blaming women for their rapes sure looks like misogynistic bullshit!

So we can all expect the "progressive" protests at Democrats' primaries? The ones still harassing Kamala Harris who has absolutely nothing to do with Bibi and his BFF Piggy's dismantling of the Middle East?

No protests about that actual, current, verifiable on going harm? Nothing against MAGAts?

Sure looks like it!
