He did not “admit” this, this is a total fabrication. Rogers was **specifically asked about El Sayed** on a donor call and expressed confidence he could beat him because it’s a donor call and it’s unclear what people expect him to say. A completely fake story and fake narrative.
This dopey “Dem leaders support Israel because of swing voters” line is empirically false. Cutting off aid to Israel is currently net +23 with all voters, including +23 with independents. Belief support for israel hurts the US more than helps is net +25, incl +35 w/ independents.
