Democrat STABS Her Own Party in the BACK, Endorses MAGA Republican

Haley Stevens lost Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed by less than a point. Then she walked into a Detroit church and endorsed the Trump-backed Republican, Mike Rogers. Her explanation is that she’s standing for her country. Are you fucking kidding me?
You don’t have to like the guy who beat you. You don’t even have to campaign for him. But staying home and actively helping the other side are two very different things. Her longtime chief of staff has resigned, Chuck Schumer called her decision a despicable betrayal, and Trump is praising her.
There’s also the money. The AIPAC-affiliated super PAC reportedly spent about $30 million backing Stevens and attacking El-Sayed, and Michigan voters picked him anyway. Then there’s a new Drop Site News report saying two people working on the Rogers campaign are registered foreign agents tied to an Israeli government-funded PR contract. One of them was standing behind Stevens at the endorsement.
FARA registration isn’t a crime, and the reporting doesn’t show Israel directed her endorsement. But voters deserve to know who’s behind the people speaking for a candidate.
Haley Stevens can live with her decision. Democrats are going to remember it.
