EXPOSED: US Congresswoman Angie Craig LIES About AIPAC Backing

[00:00:00]is one of the most pro-Israel members of the house. This is Angie Craig, House Representative from Minnesota, and now she's running for the Minnesota Senate seat. So, she's recently been under a lot of fire given the fact that she's, you know, heavily, heavily backed by AIPAC. I want to go ahead and show you guys this recent clip of her because she knows now that being backed by AIPAC is not a good look. So, she'll hide the fact that she's backed by AIPAC while at the same time taking their money. So, take what? Take a listen to this and then let's talk about it.

[00:00:32]>> Well, the numbers she just threw out are absolutely ridiculous. AIPAC has not contributed at all the PAC to my Senate campaign. Not one penny.

[00:00:41]>> And I think it's important though to note, I want to tell you what's going on here. Um Congresswoman Craig just said that, you know, she's taking no AIPAC PAC money. Uh but they've held over a dozen fundraisers for her including one at the home of the head of AIPAC in this election specifically for the Senate because they understand who their candidate is in this race. AIPAC's candidate is Angie Craig.

[00:01:08]>> This is Peggy Flanagan. She's running for the Minnesota Senate seat, um you know, over Angie Craig. Hopefully hopefully she wins over Angie Craig for sure. Here's the thing I want to let you guys know. They're now I think AIPAC is getting it's getting it's getting just some good amount a great amount of focus. The focus also needs to be on the fact that the the bills that these individuals vote on and how they're going about it. Okay? Sometimes AIPAC is giving pro-Israel members of Congress money and then other times members of Congress become pro-Israel so they can get AIPAC money. And sometimes it's a murky it's it's a murky place.

[00:01:44]Just for for context, Angie Craig, her her wife is Jewish and also staunch Jewish Zionist. So, she has she has her own interest in being pro-Israel as well. She's a Zionist. I want to go ahead and pull up Angie Craig's voting record. She stated she's not getting any she's not getting any AIPAC money for the Senate race. She's gotten tons and tons of AIPAC money for her house seat.

[00:02:08]She's gotten over half about half a million dollars in in pro-Israel funds coming directly from AIPAC, Democratic Majority for Israel Action Fund, NORPAC.

[00:02:17]So, she's received a lot a lot of pro a lot of pro-Israel money. AIPAC alone in 2025 has sent her total of what is this?

[00:02:27]About $200,000.

[00:02:29]She's stating that they haven't given her anything to the to her to her Senate seat. They don't need to because they're going about their fundraising and they're doing their own campaigns outside of outside of her outside of her own outside of her own funding campaign.

[00:02:42]Here's the thing though. So, she's staunchly staunchly pro-Israel.

[00:02:48]She's co-sponsored 10 bills for Israel.

[00:02:51]This is using my website votelog.org.

[00:02:53]You can track US House reps and Senate Senate reps for senators on their on their breakdown regarding Israel and Palestine their entire voting record. And if you go here, she's put forward basically every single pro-Israel bill you can think of or co-sponsored it. Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, Israel Security Supplemental Act. No Where is it?

[00:03:14]Reaffirming the State of Israel's right to exist. Obviously censoring Rashida Tlaib. Anti-Semitism Awareness Act which uses the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism where certain criticisms of Israel are now considered anti-Semitic.

[00:03:27]And she's basically, you know, she supported basically every single thing you can think of when it comes to Israel. Staunchly staunchly >> [snorts] >> pro-Israel. This lady has to get out of office. But here's the thing. This is from the minnpost.com.

[00:03:41]As Democrats debate their relationship with Israel, AIPAC donations to Angie Craig complicate her campaign. Craig stopped taking direct taking direct money from from pro-Israel group after declaring her candidacy for the Senate, but it continued holding it continued holding fundraisers for her. Who gives a damn if she takes money from them or not if she's going to vote just within their within what they want? Does it really matter if she's taking pro-Israel money if she's going to be doing their bidding for free anyways? No, it doesn't. She's trying to make it seem like, "Oh, I'm not taking taking AIPAC funds. It's fine." It's No, it's actually not fine if you're going to vote the exact same way. The issue is people's voting records. Now, the money is what people look at to under have a better a better understanding of their voting records, but the voting record is what we should be paying attention to the most. And her voting record is as pro-Israel as you can get. So, who cares about whether she takes AIPAC funds or not?

[00:04:34]Because in this case, she's going to be pro-Israel either way. Now, she shouldn't be taking AIPAC funds. Nobody should be. But if their voting record is still going to be pro-Israel with or without it, well, that doesn't then it doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't mean anything substantial in the way that they're going to actually affect US foreign policy. So, Democrats are grappling with their support of Israel with many rejecting campaign money from pro-Israel groups, and Angie Craig is among the lawmakers who have been caught up in the shifting attitudes of her party. Since she ran for Congress in 2018, she's received more than $800,000 linked to AIPAC. A MinnPost analysis of the FEC filing showed that the money of 400,000 was raised through the pro-Israel groups in the months before she announced her bid uh for retiring Senate uh Senate Tina Smith's seat a year ago. Yet, AIPAC continued to help Craig hosting a about a dozen fundraisers for the lawmaker after she announced she was running for the Senate seat last April. One was held in LA at the organiz- uh at the office of the organization's president. So, I mean, they're really, you know, they're really supporting her. Meanwhile, Peggy Flanagan, who's this lady right here, she's obvi- she's running for the seat uh for the Senate seat as well.

[00:05:43]Uh is a progressive who has never held had the support of AIPAC and has vowed not to take any money from the pro-Israel group. She has she's she has a much more, you know, policy you know, she has a policy that is a lot less unconditional support of Israel.

[00:05:58]She's spoken out a lot about what's happening in Palestine and Craig's history of support for AIPAC could hurt her as she vies for the nomination of her party. Here's the thing, you know, you would think at this point that it would it you would people would kind of understand, okay, this this lady Angie Craig, she's a total sellout. How is she going to win? If you look [snorts] at how much money this lady has received for her campaign, it's not just about her campaign specifically, but all the money that's coming out from outside sources. She has millions and millions and millions of dollars at her disposal.

[00:06:27]And then if you look at the breakdown by age, of course, those over the age of 65 heavily in support of her over Peggy Flanagan. So, there's money plays a big factor, especially when people that are, you know, people that are older over the age of 65, a lot of them are not using social media. A lot of them are hooked to the television. It's they're a lot more persuadable when they're getting constantly fed all of these advertisements. People that are a bit younger, they kind of tend to see through those TV ads a lot, you know, usually a lot better.

[00:06:56]Again, those are obviously generalizations, but let's see. What else did I want to read to you guys here? A very complex issue. A spokesperson for the Craig campaign said the lawmaker's Senate campaign has not received donations from the AIPAC PAC and does not plan to. See, they're again, they're trying to make it seem like, "Oh my god, great. Doesn't matter anymore." In fact, most of the help AIPAC has given Craig has come through bundled contributions. That means AIPAC has collect collects multiple individual contributions capped by the FEC at 3,500 for her primary and another 3,500 for her general and delivers them to a candidate in a single package. So, the fundraisers AIPAC hosted for Craig brought in additional money that was not directly linked to the pro-Israel group.

[00:07:37]That's what I previously showed. If you go to my issue funding section on votelog.org, you can see the breakdown here. They talk about bundled bundle donors. So I have the direct PAC contributions $5,000 in 2025, but then you'll see that there are these bundled 292 donors and I list the names actually of the donors and the states and everything. So this is kind of how AIPAC operates. They'll host galas, they'll host, you know, event fundraising events. And what they'll do is they'll bring all of these, you know, Zionist millionaires, sometimes even billionaires, they'll bring them to these events to these galas and they'll have them fundraise. And then what AIPAC does is it will bundle all of that up to bundle all of that together and be the conduit through which it funds the campaign. So that's that's that's what it means, which is why also you'll hear this criticism from all of these groups, even the Anti-Defamation League recently against Mondani because he mentioned AIPAC. I'm going to be doing a video on that. And they state that it's it's anti-Semitic to go after AIPAC now because AIPAC is just representative of Jewish Americans. Well, it's specifically Jewish Zionist Zionist.

[00:08:41]You know, heavily heavily Jewish their donors, but a lot but there are some of them that aren't. There are some of them that aren't either. But of course AIPAC just wants to make it seem like it's it's a religious thing and they're we're being they're being attacked for their religion and not because of the political ideology of Zionism. And the fact that it's influencing majorly our US foreign policy.

[00:09:00]So let's see what else did I want to read to you guys.

[00:09:04]Every day something is changing. It's a very complex issue that again we need to bring all sides together to come up with what is the best solution instead of DNC official.

[00:09:14]Us passing a resolution isn't going to stop a war, but coming together working as a group to figure out how our party moves forward I think is an approach we need to take. And this is regarding the DNC shutting down a symbolic resolution calling for an arms embargo and suspension of military aid to Israel.

[00:09:30]There's a lot of things that Angie Craig has signed. I'm trying to remember. She who signed a letter talking about how, you know, really Israel basically that Palestinian self-determination, a two-state solution, is really not a concern whatsoever. A lot A lot of Democrats signed on board with this letter. She's also one of the staunch staunch war hawks as well against Iran.

[00:09:53]Because she's staunchly pro-Israel. So, it doesn't matter if you're on the left or the right, if you're staunchly pro-Israel, then you're going to go ahead and you're going to support a lot of war for Israel. That's typically how it works. So, let's see. She's made a lot of obviously statements in the media. Um and and that's who she is. And then I again I already went through her issue funding and just all of the crazy bills that she's put forward as well and all of the bills that she's co-sponsored. Really just basically focusing on intertwining our intertwining the US and and Israel together. She's also one of the individuals who co-sponsored the US-Israel Defense Partnership Act. This is the one where people are really concerned about it because there's a basically it's intertwining the United States and Israel together through our military tech and everything else.

If you don't want to donate or if you want to help out in a different way, one of the best ways to help votelog is I'm trying to build up it's um it's uh it's strength on Google. And the way you build up strength for websites on Google is you have websites in similar spaces or news articles link to your website because it tells Google that website is credible. So, for example, this mintpost.com, they talked about Angie Craig receiving AIPAC donations. I'd reach out to mintpost and be like, "Hey, Anna, who wrote this article, would you mind, you know, linking to my website when you talk about Angie Craig's donations from AIPAC. Uh sometimes they'll do that that sort of thing. If you have a website website in the space, nonprofits, Palestine-Israel, uh voting, anything anything like that, and you want to link to my website Vote Log, it's a weird request, but it does help me out a lot. Um kind of just like doing all of this outreach on my own right now. Otherwise, guys, I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I will talk to you all again soon. Bye, everybody.
