Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to X on Sunday, asserting that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was promoting a "wildly unpopular agenda" to members of Congress.
"If people want to talk about members of Congress being overly influenced by a special interest group pushing a wildly unpopular agenda that pushes voters away from Democrats then they should be discussing AIPAC," Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
The congresswoman's post came in response to a post from Jeremy Slevin, senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
"Weird to have a whole discourse about 'special interest groups' that completely leaves out corporate and industry lobbies — by far the most influential 'groups' in the Democratic Party," he wrote.
"Nonprofits have mostly filled the void that labor used to have in the party. If you want a Democratic Party responsive to the needs of the working class, support a revitalized labor movement," Slevin wrote in another post.
