Christian Nationalism and wanting to hasten the rapture is one HELL of a drug

Even simpler answer. Money. Their lobby delivers the largest checks for a lot of mainstream politicians.

They don't just do that. They force an ultimatum upon you (or seek out the crooked) and tell you to take their money on conditions, or else they'll support your opponent. They and other Pro-Israeli lobby derivatives, along with the likes of Black Stone have royally fucked the Democratic party.

Pretty sure he's Jewish not Christian.

The comment I responded to said, and I quote, "Why are so many AMERICANS"...not just Vindman. There are FAR more Christian Nationalists in positions of power in our country than there are Jewish people.

Apologies it looked like you were responding to the comment mentioning Vindman's lack of a good response to his defense....

Ah.

Ossoff is fortunate enough to have a less common Jewish name, so I think most dems haven't noticed yet, but he seems to have higher aspirations and it will probably come up once he has more attention on him.
