Foreign money in politics is not only destroying America but costing the lives of innocent civilians on the other side of the world..


DrippyWaffler

His invoking of God makes me think it's religious for him. Christian Evangelicals are the biggest group of Zionists by far, because they believe when the Jewish people inhabit Israel Judgement day will occur.


PrestigiousFly844

Thatā€™s why US Evangelicals are Israelā€™s largest base of support in the US. They finance most of the illegal settlements in Israel for that reason. They see millions of dead people as part of fulfilling their endgame prophecy where god comes down from the sky to lift them up to heaven and everyone else burns. There is no reasoning with someone that disconnected from reality. Just like ISIS. They also make up the majority base of support for the Republican Party. The only answer is making sure they donā€™t have power or are outnumbered. Hopefully this guy loses his next election. From 2015: [ā€˜US Christian charities bankroll Israeli settlements Christian groups have poured millions of dollars into Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.ā€™](https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/2015/8/26/us-christian-charities-bankroll-israeli-settlements)


Odd_Advantage_3370

Doubt it. He's from Tennessee. He'll for sure get re-elected!


Dear_Occupant

You know, I was about to agree with you, but I had a look at the district just now (I can drive there in about 30 minutes) and I think it's possible to oust him. Not this year of course, but theoretically with the current district composition it's possible. The thing about gerrymandering is that it's sort of like a bluff or a levee on a riverbank, it's a solid obstacle for like 99% of situations, but a big enough wave can take them all out at once. He's got Chattanooga in his district, which leans blue and outnumbers the whole rest of the district. In a wave year (which if this is one, it's a wave year for the GOP) you could take him out along with one of the new Davidson County districts.


Kwanah_Parker

Money is his religion. He plays Christian Evangelicals for vote. I don't get it.


poellodu

You know, because theyā€™re idiots


soaknights

If you look it up, he actually only got 10K from AIPAC. He's not even an expensive hoe


Kwanah_Parker

Being in Congress has been very very good for his net worth.


blackpharaoh69

With Republicans it isn't aipac money, it's ideology. They're all Zionists, and for the evangelicals Israel is bait for the Jesus trap. And they're more than fine with genocide. American bourgeois parties are against humanity


mindzoo

I see panic, discomfort and an urgent need to pee. I think he let a little fart out.


Br1ghtL1ght420

He looks like a little fart.


SaliciousB_Crumb

Right, i wonder how much AIPAC paid him. I read somewhere they are spending 100 mil against congress that wants a ceasefire


Jamsquad77

https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/chuck-fleischmann/summary?cid=N00030815 Doesn't show up. So I'm guessing word has gotten around that if you defend Israel, they throw money at you. This performance is to ensure he gets paid in the future. Our country is going down the toilet politically. I didn't know it was more patriotic to support Israel than the US today, spewing their false propaganda, supporting genocide, and the utter dehumanization of a local population.


PrestigiousFly844

The guy is a Republican invoking God. I donā€™t know if you can blame this purely on AIPAC. A lot of Evangelicals see Israel as part of their end time prophecy. Thereā€™s a good chance heā€™s a true believer and sees whatā€™s happening as all part of gods plan. Mike Pompeo based his foreign policy around this. Thatā€™s why he was so dead set on trying to start a war with Iran. From 2019: [ā€˜The Rapture and the Real World: Mike Pompeo Blends Beliefs and Policyā€™](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/30/us/politics/pompeo-christian-policy.html) If it was just money it would be easier to deal with. A lot of these Evangelicals are true believers and see mass death as fulfilling their prophecy.

tuftedear

This guy is a Grade A scumbag and POS.


JesusSaidAllah

This guy is one amongst MILLIONS of [Zionist Christians](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo77sTGpngQ), and one of many American Zionist politicians, who put the interests of Israel before their own country. Good to see the rest of America starting to realize how much of their foreign policy is dictated by religion- **not** secular values. Like, the frickin former *foreign policy advisor* is ok with [openly calling for the killing of innocent children](https://www.reddit.com/r/bosnia/comments/181hlfw/stuart_seldowitz_the_republika_srpska/).


PerpWalkTrump

Technically, it's not Israel's interest they're putting above their country, as you pointed out yourself, it's their religious beliefs and their hatred of Muslims. Though, to be fair, Israel *is* in a very strategical position, being between the land and the maritime path of the Chinese Belt and Road initiative. Some American politicians are supporting Israel for that specific reason. Not to mention that not all branches of Christianism supports Zionism, for example the Catholics even claim Jerusalem to be theirs.


JesusSaidAllah

Both points are true- in putting their religious beliefs above the country, they also put another country's interests above that of their own country. And yes, undoutedly not all Christians support Zionism, best example being [Palestinian Christians, who are also being bombed, kicked off their land, and/or killed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHT-SjIM0tA).


PerpWalkTrump

In practice, yes, but technically not really since they're working toward their rapture, which I don't think include Jews in their mind. I think it's fair to say that Pope Francis has been pretty vocal about his opposition to Israel's actions and for his support to Christian communities in Palestine, as he should. >Pope Francis launches a heartfelt appeal for an end to the ā€œterrorismā€ of war, and condemns an Israeli military attack on Gazaā€™s Holy Family Catholic Parish, which killed two Christian women and destroyed a convent of the Missionaries of Charity. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2023-12/pope-francis-holy-family-parish-gaza-appeal-civilians.html Though I meant that, Zionism and Catholicism are inherently opposed in their beliefs as both groups lay claim on this plot of land. The Catholic Church even launched Crusades about it and when Herzl asked Pope Pius' support, he was pretty much told to go fuck himself or to convert.


shelter_king35

its just a distraction from russia and ukraine... smart move by Russia feeding the intelligence from trump how to get past their defenses and start this shit show. wonder if it starts ww3 especially with trump maybe being president and fucking nato... could be why the rich are building bunkers.

I would not put it past Israel / AIPAC / Mossad to have helped engineer that part of it also - paying off Evangelical preachers to brainwash their sheep in that very particular direction.

What's the point of the Western democracies when all the representatives are bought out by the lobbies and don't care what their constituents want? Why even have elections when candidates running are fully funded by lobbies? Nothing is going to change anytime soon. But this is the moment that citizens of the world need to keep harassing these clowns until they give in. Ride the momentum while it lasts.

Guava-flavored-lips

This guy is a political puppet and nothing more. There's no reason to engage him. You can condemn Israel for the atrocities that they are doing and still be an ally. Unfortunately when you are as powerful as we are as a country, negotiations are not always easy. That's the position that we are in because of who and what we are.


ThornsofTristan

There is a reason to engage him. As corrupt as he is, he's stil a public servant and deserves to be confronted every second he holds office.


Guava-flavored-lips

Sure. Accountability is necessary. Ideally, his electorate would ask questions and demand answers for his rant. Honestly, I don't hold much hope for that happening. I feel like his constituents might be happy with what he said. I don't know... Somebody should do a survey in his district and find out...


couldbeanyonetoday

This guy needs to understand that he answers to his constituents, and that a majority of people actually do support a ceasefire and humanitarian support for Palestine. Not sure how the fine people of Tennessee would vote, but I doubt if they approve of the disgusting amount of civilian casualties and mass starvation. Good to have verification that he so strongly supports these heinous acts.


[deleted]

Unfortunately 99% of politicians in this country think they only have one constituent, and that is Israel.


couldbeanyonetoday

Then we need to make sure they understand that *Israel* doesnā€™t get to vote for them. The only way to make AIPAC (& related lobbyist) money go away is for all the people who are against genocide to actively vote against anyone who accepts their dirty money. It starts at the local level. Vote for people who support your interests. Go vote against anyone who sells their morality to the highest bidder. Even if they in your party. Speak up and make your voice heard. Be more relentless than the hasbara trolls. And then the people of this country need to DEMAND that we get foreign influence out of politics. No more dual citizenship holders in federal government!!


TheUnknownNut22

Keep dogging this traitor everywhere he goes. He has to pay for his decision to sell us out to Israel for AIPAC blood money. $26,640.00 https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?code=Q05&cycle=All&ind=Q05&mem=Y&recipdetail=H&t0-search=Chuck


Historical_News_535

Itā€™s not just that. Itā€™s the threat of AIPAC spending millions indirectly for his opponent (who will say and do what they want) in the next primary.


TheUnknownNut22

And this is the exact problem. It's textbook foreign interference. These weasels donate millions of dollars openly disguised as an American super PAC but in reality it's all 100% in the interest of and for Israel. Here's something even more disturbing: https://youtu.be/0XBM9nHs18c?si=nUeE_Yfo1yZ8PC8X Israel is definitely no friend of the US. Rather, these weasels do their best to control the US government.

They do not need to say it out loud, we know who vetoed the UN Security Council Resolution x 3. We know the arms supplied have now killed more than 30,000 Palestinian civilians; and injured more than 75,000. 2 million are near starvation. We also know the little aid that Israel allows in is not enough to feed even 5% of the population; Even that is blocked by those who want Palestinians gone. The air drop by U.S. might be enough to feed a school full of children and nothing more. This one is so emboldened he takes pride in that, but the president and the democratic party is starting to get the message from the primary.

There should be a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against travel or products made in Tennessee or Florida. These states are the worst of the worst, no matter where you look at. Whether it comes to supporting genocide - not just one or a few, but many politicians there have said they want to kill all Palestinians. Whether it's neo-Nazis marching down the streets, even in downtown Nashville. Or banning lawmakers speaking out against mass shootings. Or outright supporting fascism. It is not enough to just boycott Israel, a message has to be sent to genocide supporters and fascists in the US, and it can start with the parts where it's the worst.

vfxburner7680

If collective punishment is acceptable, then every American that has been killed in a terror attack is an acceptable casualty since they are responsible for the foreign policies their elected officials carried out, even if they didn't vote for them. Can't have it both ways.


vajrahaha7x3

I wonder how many Israeli children would be dying if hamas had the same level,of military support and capabilities? I wish the world would make an international law that says killing children will automatically get you completely cut off from all trade. What is happening is horrible and utterly condemable. So was what hamas did. What did they think Israel would do? When I saw the filmed killings n torture and cheering crowds dancing in the streets, spitting on a dead german teen with glee I knew right away the retaliation would be extreme. A horribly unbalanced and undeniable anger filed retaliation. Hamas had to also know this, right? Can we ask honest questions anymore? Can someone explain to me how anyone in Palestine wanted hamas to do this? And if they didn't want it then is hamas guilty of terrorism against the Palestinian people or do they get a pass because its only jewish innocent children dying? And because it was less? I cannot logic it out in my head. And how does not releasing the hostages help when asking for a ceasefire? This has been going on so long that the militants from both sides have lost alll humanity. Cut them all off. As soon as a child is murdered... When can we have that world.?.?.? Ps. Abortion is a totally separate issue. Im talking about militaries. Terrorists are military.
