Loomer returning the favor and retweeting her new buddy, Neera Tanden, the president of Center for American Progress. Establishment Dems are more comfortable with Islamophobes than anyone to their left.

Nice. This is the way.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

CAP, which published the anti Islamophobia report Fear INC, which I co-authored, has its president @neeratanden now actively promoting the biggest proponent of Islamophobia.

The Center urgently needs to clarify whether there has been a change in position and policy.

Do you all approve of this? If so, why???

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

As did Abdul El-Sayed, congresspeople, senators, governors, etc. In fact, your old colleague John Podesta was just on our podcast too - it was a great discussion!

On our show LEVER TIME, I talk to candidates, electeds, journalists & political operatives. Guilty as charged!

@neeratanden @WajahatAli Any updates on this?

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

Nothing to see here, folks, just the head of the Center for American Progress @amprog amplifying one of the most disgustingly racist professional bigots in America, Laura "deport every Muslim in America" Loomer, so she can score a point against a leftist streamer.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

@neeratanden In the spirit of unity, can you, the head of CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS, apologize to Muslims and decent people for retweeting Laura Loomer and her hateful post?

Let us know if you have. If not, why not?

You're the president of CAP.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

@neeratanden Hi Neera, when you have a moment between gloating tweets, could you take a moment to address why you (as the head of CAP) thought it was ok to amplify arguably the most prominent anti-Muslim bigot in the country who’s made an entire career of her hate? Thanks!

[AIP @AIPAction]

Michigan State Senator Jeremy Moss (D) was caught on tape saying:

"The entire purpose of my career is to make sure America continues to support Israel, I don't think it's wrong for Israel to use America as a pawn, America is not our homeland, we have been victims of antisemitism here."

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

A US ambassador's job is to protect & defend the citizens & interests of the United States. @USAmbIsrael Mike Huckabee has failed to do so.

As violence consumes the West Bank & extremists call for a Greater Israel, he's become a mouthpiece for the Israeli govt.

He should resign.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

I know it’s complicated for you, habibi. I’m happy to teach you how this works at our next debate…if you’re not too much a coward to debate me.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

An incredible expose by Ronen Bergman shows how Israel invents quotes from Iranian officials in order to manufacture "evidence" that Iran is building nuclear weapons. This event took place on August 5th, when it was reported globally that Ahmad Vahidi, commander of the IRGC had admitted that Iran was developing nuclear weapons. The only problem? It wasn't true:

1) Netanyahu's pet network in Israel, Channel 14 spent months building Vahedi up as "the strongest man in Iran," priming audiences to treat any dramatic quote from him as coming from Iran itself. In reality, he is one power player among several.

2) An Indian Hindu nationalist account posts an earlier fabricated quote from Vahedi that says that nuclear weapons are a "necessity" for Iran. It does not get much traction.

3) The same account publishes a quote saying that Vahedi stated that Vahedi said that Iran will keep developing nuclear weapons as long as the US and Israel have them. There was no source.

4) The Mossad Commentary account, a large account with no affiliation to the actual Mossad posted the quote in English.

5) Channel 14, a mere 33 minutes later, covers this and claims that this is "the first time" an Iranian official directly admitted to building a nuclear bomb.

6) Three minutes later Yair Netanyahu, son of the Prime Minister, retweets Mossad Commentary, then three minutes later retweets Channel 14 English, followed later by Israel War Room.

7) Two hours later, Netanyahu senior cites the fabricated quote in an official speech at Mount Herzl, now the made up Tweet had become state policy.

8) The Tweet makes it to the US, US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz shares it saying that Iran is "finally admitting what was clear for years," then deletes it without explanation.

9) Mark Levine shares it and then Fox News reports it as fact, including an on-screen headline.

10) Channel 14 now reports this again with FOX and Netanyahu as the source. Mossad Commentary, the original source of the English version, now cites Channel 14 as its source, completing a circular citation loop.

11) Israel's Foreign Ministry spreads Netanyahu's remarks to Persian-speaking audiences.

12) Indian news agency ANI reports the story back in India, attributing it to "Israeli media," completing the round trip.

This is a well oiled machine of disinformation emanating from Netanyahu and his circle designed to create a false narrative which will destroy negotiations with Iran and renew the war. Similar frauds have been perpetrated in the past like the Jewish Chronicle/Bild affair, when a made up journalist planted stories in the press to justify blowing up a hostage deal with Hamas. But this time he is dragging the entire world into endless war and not just Israel.

I want our tax dollars spent here in Michigan, not abroad to subsidize a foreign military doing genocide and apartheid.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

El-Sayed on Trump posting an image of him and his wife in a restaurant with the caption "two VERY DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other but joined in the interest in making billions of dollars off of you, or two people who genuinely love each other enjoying some pancakes together ... "

@RepJeffries When are you condemning this vile statement from a fellow member of Congress?

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a trojan horse, and a threat to both national security and our republic.

We refuse to be silent.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

What’s worth noting isn’t that a hateful person said a vile thing, it’s that this bigotry & incitement to violence is now so normalized in our politics that virtually no one in her party (& hardly anyone from the opposition party) will condemn it or demand accountability for it.
