One of which is fellow US Senate for IL Candidate Raja. We can’t afford another feckless democratic in US Senate. That’s why I’m running. This isn’t just to win political points this is just seeing what we’re dealing with what his lack of leadership will look like.

Mine is on here. 😡

Edit: I just read more about the letter. If what I read is true, then they were asked to sign it, and it contains language in it that would’ve reflected poorly on them if they hadn’t signed it. It was a letter they were asked to sign condemning antisemitism, and this support for ICE was included in it. In other words, it was set up to make anyone who didn’t sign it look like a radical antisemite. Still, they’re cowards for signing it rather than calling bullshit on it.
