The Hill Discovers Blacklisting, Ignores It When Billions Are on the Line
When The Hill publishes a piece titled 'America has entered a new era of political blacklisting,' one might assume they'd tackle the pervasive financial and reputational threats facing anyone who dares critique favored foreign policies. Instead, they choose to focus on conservative grievances against 'cancel culture' from Turning Point USA. This selective outrage carefully ignores organizations
like AIPAC, which actively blacklists candidates for Congress who don't toe a specific line. OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC spent $17.8 million in 2022 in campaign contributions and lobbying, with its super PAC targeting incumbents who didn’t support specific pro-Israel stances . How many 'eras of political blacklisting' does it take before The Hill addresses the one dictating billions in American
taxpayer dollars?
