Anyone who wants to tell you that some pain is more important than other pain, anyone who wants to tell you that somehow we can't talk about context for pain is not serious about actually addressing pain.

They're usually trying to weaponize it for their own political ends.

The vast majority of people don't know who he is, and they don't understand what the whole issue is about.

They're more concerned about how I want to make sure that they have health care through Medicare for All.

And then you have folks like Third Way.

The reason that Third Way is so angry right now is because they are a corporate-backed entity that is intended to launder the old ideas that led us into this unaffordability crisis in the first place.

And we've got people like Hassan talking to young people about how we can actually get past that, how we can actually elect politicians who really want to guarantee us healthcare who don't take corporate money.

They get real upset because, well, we're all coming for all that they hold dear, a system that sucks money out of our pockets into the hands of the richest people in society by way of policies that fail to regulate corporations, whether they're providing us utilities or healthcare or flights.

And, well, I understand why Third Way is angry, but they're using a cheap scapegoat to be able to get at that.

And then, look, the guy streams for eight hours every single day.

It's not hard to take things out of context and then try to paint him with that.

And then because you called him a particular tag to make that tag stick because nobody really has the time to comb through except for this person who made the 30-minute compilation.

Yeah.

to look at all of the times in which he took particular pains to differentiate between anti-Semitism and the actions of the state of Israel.

Look, you know, at the end of the day, I just this morning responded to the leader of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, who consistently tries to obfuscate, deliberately tries to obfuscate

the state of Israel, and AIPAC for the Jewish people.

And you would think that somebody who has a platform principally focused on trying to protect Jewish people would understand the foundational risk of that and the foundational antisemitism in that.

But instead, he's trying to use the concept of antisemitism to argue that any sort of criticism of Israel or any sort of criticism of AIPAC, which is a MAGA-backed

political action committee intent on making sure that our public policy backstops whatever it is that Israeli leaders want to do, he wants to extend the concept of antisemitism to defend that too.

And I'm so sorry, but when you're talking about a state that is engaged in genocide at worst, but also engaged in war crimes and engaged in apartheid, it is not possible to try to use that concept to defend what they're doing.
