Shaun King takes down Gavin Newsom’s refusal to call out AIPAC:

From the text:

“So when my friend and brother Van Lathan simply brought up AIPAC on Higher Learning and said…

“I will not vote for a candidate that takes $1 from AIPAC.”

—I expected a straightforward answer. A yes. A no. A why.

“Instead, Gavin short-circuited. He said “that’s interesting” again and again (Mediaite counted seven), claimed Van was “the first to bring up AIPAC in years,” called AIPAC “not relevant to my day-to-day life,” and tried to pivot to Prop 50, city councils, school boards—anything but a clear stance.
